When packing your hospital bag did you pack your breast pump? Second baby here! I tried with my son but he wouldn’t latch and I didn’t have a breast pump, now i have the lansinoh wearable pump, should I pack it?

You can but the hospital should also have one you can use until you get home if needed, you may ask before delivery to double check though.
I took my Haaka with me just to help suction during let down while nursing on one side, I’ve also taken my hand expression pump. I didn’t use an electric pump until a few days after delivery or once I was home I really tried for mostly contact nursing in the hospital to get it going. About to have baby 6 and have nursed all my kiddos
I packed mine but didnt use it coz the hospital grade medela one they brought into my room worked so much better… my milk didn’t come in at all and my boy had to be supplemented with formula while i tried to stimulate production…
Pack it. I wished I packed mine when I had my daughter because we had problems with latching and my milk never came in due to it.
They let me use a hospital grade electric pump whilst I was in hospital with mine. It really increased production! They actually fed mine using pumped milk in a cup to let me get some sleep!
