33. Pumping in the NICU with Courtney Olson
The NICU can be an overwhelming experience. When we add pumping schedules and sanitization practices within that environment, it can feel downright exhausting. We’re here to give you advice on how to navigate this time.
I'm thrilled to welcome back our guest, Courtney Olson from @lactationchat. Courtney is a speech-language pathologist and lactation consultant, who brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to today's discussion. Her journey has led her to a pivotal role in the NICU as a developmental therapist, where her days are dedicated to the delicate practice of nurturing infants' abilities to feed and thrive.
Together, we're going to explore the ins and outs of maintaining milk supply when your baby needs critical care, from the best practices for pumping, the importance of flange size, to the proper care and sanitization of your pumping equipment. Whether you're navigating the unpredictable schedule of NICU visits or trying to master the art of pumping and hand expression, we're giving you tips and advice to make your pumping journey as a NICU mama a little easier.
