There is no universal answer to this as each breastfeeding journey is different and a very individual experience. Ask your healthcare professional if you have any doubts or need advice.
What is important to know, is that Symphony can accompany you throughout your whole breastfeeding journey should you and your baby need it.

Your breasts have prepared for breastfeeding during your pregnancy, but they need your baby´s suckling as a stimulation to start producing milk and then build and maintain that milk supply for your whole breastfeeding journey. It is crucial that your breasts receive this stimulation and get drained regularly.
So if your baby cannot breastfeed effectively (yet), your Symphony breast pump will take over by mimicking your baby´s natural sucking rhythm with two research-based programs – while at the same time making sure that you baby does not miss out on any of your precious drops.
If you have any further questions about Symphony, pumping or breastfeeding, please always approach the healthcare professionals near you. They can support you best!
