As your breast pump does its job, tell them a story about what they’re seeing and if they’re old enough, you can take turns Have them sit next to you, and tell them a story. Your baby can “read” the books (or gnaw on them, if they’re teething), and if they are old enough, let them turn the pages or pretend to read the book to you.

Keep a basket of their favorite books near the spot where you prefer to pump. There’s never been a better time to help Baby become a bookworm than while you’re pumping.

What you choose to sing is totally up to you it can be a classic like “Row Row Row Your Boat” - or something more modern like “Running Up That Hill” from Stranger Things. As it turns out, a baby loves hearing their mother’s voice (most likely a throwback to their time in the womb) because it creates an even stronger emotional bond, researchers found. Sing to your babyĮven if you can’t carry a note, your newborn will be none the wiser when you sing to them while pumping. They slip completely inside your bra, allowing you more flexibility as you pump.” A battery-operated pump gives you even more flexibility and freedom to get up and walk around while you’re expressing breast milk.īut even if you are sitting there holding bottles up to your breasts for the next 20 minutes or so, here are some things you can do with your baby to keep you both entertained and safe. “If you have a baby that insists on being held, and you're having a hard time pumping, consider a wearable pump. “Utilize a hands-free pumping bra so you can hold your baby while you pump,” Chrisie Rosenthal, IBCLC, a lactation consultant with The Lactation Network tells Romper. Just because you’re pumping doesn’t mean that you can’t still be close to your baby, especially if you are pumping only one side or have the right equipment to allow you to use your hands while the pump is in use. What to do with your baby while you’re pumping Some are sweet (like snuggling) and others are educational (like reading) but they’ll all help you to hopefully pump in peace while entertaining your baby, too. Well, there are plenty of things you can do with your baby while you pump. But if you’re pumping to prepare some bottles for your baby (and your little one is wide awake right next to you), you might be looking at each other wondering what to do next.
