Ep.242: What It Takes to be an Exclusively Pumping Mom with Jacquie Ciccione, RN/CLC

Author: HeHe Stewart February 16, 2024 Duration: 55:48
This episode dives into the what it takes to be an exclusively pumping parent-- the mental load, the time, the commitment, all of it! Jacquie Ciccione, RN & CLC, joins HeHe to dive into how to know if you are using the correct flange size, what are common issues that arise when someone exclusively pumps and so much more!    Jacquie's Bio: My name is Jacquie Ciccone.  I am a wife, mom, registered nurse, and certified lactation counselor. After giving birth to my son and having several struggles, I became fascinated with breastfeeding.  I ended up exclusively pumping for a year, so I’m passionate about breast pumps and pumping. I am determined to help close the gap between lactating mothers and breast pumps. I now offer 1:1 pumping consultations to improve their experience and increase the likelihood of success.  I consider pumping a sport and an entirely new set of breastfeeding skills.  I will be offering group counseling for pumping moms starting in July that I’m very excited about! I stay updated with the latest research and advancements in lactation counseling and breast pumps, ensuring I can provide my clients with the most current and evidence-based support.   Join The Birth Lounge!    Links/Tools  Mentioned in episode: Nipple Ruler  https://sarahwellsbags.com/collections/hands-free-pumping-bra https://thedairyfairy.com/ https://www.loveandfit.com/collections/nursing-bras   Connect with Jacquie on IG Work with Jacquie: https://pumpedupmama.com/ Connect with HeHe on IG Work 1:1 with HeHe & The TBH Team on Breastfeeding, formula feeding or bottle feeding
