Is The First Milk Steps suitable for first-time mums?
Yes! The First Milk Steps is designed to help you understand the important foundations without overwhelming you. The lessons are explained step by step in simple BM and English, so you don’t need any prior breastfeeding or pumping knowledge to get started.
I already use a breast pump. Do I still need to learn hand expression?
Yes. Hand expression isn’t only for mums who don’t have a breast pump. It can be useful when you still feel full after pumping, when you need to express without your pump, or when you want another technique to support effective milk removal. The goal is not to make you do more and more every day. It’s to give you the right knowledge so you know what to do and when to use it.
I’m a working mum. Is The First Milk Steps suitable for me?
Yes, especially if you’re able to follow a more regular pumping routine. However, if your work, shifts, sleep or daily responsibilities make regular pumping difficult, FLEXpumping may be more suitable for you. FLEXpumping teaches you how to create a more flexible pumping routine around your lifestyle.
Is The First Milk Steps the same as FLEXpumping?
Definitely not. They serve two different purposes.The First Milk Steps (TFMS) focuses on getting your foundations right. It follows a more structured approach and helps you understand the essential first steps, including important milk-removal techniques such as hand expression.FLEXpumping goes deeper into creating a pumping routine that can be adjusted around your lifestyle, work, sleep and daily commitments. TFMS = Get the foundations right. FLEXpumping = Learn how to make pumping fit your life.
