The day I left the hospital, I thought the hard part was over. I had delivered my baby, I was home, and I was ready to start my new life as a mother.

But within 48 hours, reality hit.

Cracked nipples. A baby crying endlessly. Confusing feeding schedules. No sleep. No time to breathe.

That’s when I realized: I needed support and not just emotional support, but practical support.

A friend suggested trying a breast pump and that one small decision made a huge difference in my first week postpartum.

This blog is for every new mom in Pakistan wondering:

“Should I start pumping immediately?”
“Will it hurt?”
“How do I even begin?”

Here’s exactly how my first week with a breast pump went the good, the hard, and the surprisingly easy.

Day 1: Arriving Home (And Realizing I'm Not Ready)

Within hours of reaching home, I felt overwhelmed.
My baby wouldn’t latch properly. My breasts were engorged. The hospital routine was gone, and I felt lost.

I called my friend in panic.
She said one thing:

“You need a wearable breast pump. Just order it.”

That night, I placed my first order on Muminity.pk.
 Free delivery, WhatsApp support, and 3-day delivery? I had hope.

Day 2: Delivery Day & Unboxing My Pump

By evening, my Solo Flow Pro wearable pump arrived.

Inside the box:

• The pump unit
  
  

• Flange set
  
  

• USB cable
  
  

• User manual in Urdu & English
  
  

I was still nervous, but seeing the compact design, the soft silicone, and adjustable suction gave me the confidence to try.

Day 3: My First Pumping Attempt

With trembling hands, I tried it during the baby's nap.

I wore my nursing bra, inserted the pump, turned it on and waited.

It didn’t hurt.
In fact… It was soothing.

I pumped for 10 minutes and got 50ml.
Enough to give the baby a bottle and give my cracked nipple a break.

Day 4: The Midnight Shift Miracle

That night, when my baby cried at 3 AM, I didn’t panic.

I had pumped milk in a bottle.

I handed it to my husband, laid back, and for the first time in 4 days… I rested.

This pump didn’t just help my baby.
It saved my sanity.

Day 5: Building Confidence and Milk Supply

I started following a simple schedule:

• Morning: Breastfeed + pump
  
  

• Afternoon: Pump while baby naps
  
  

• Night: Pump after feed for stash
  
  

Result?
My supply stabilized.
The baby stayed full.
I felt in control.

Day 6: WhatsApp Support Made It Easy

I had a question about suction level and flange size.
So I messaged Muminity on WhatsApp.

They replied within 10 minutes with tips, images, and a gentle tone that felt like talking to a friend.

That support alone made me feel like I wasn’t doing this alone.

Day 7: Cleaning & Storage Routine

On Day 7, I created a routine:

• Clean parts immediately after pumping
  
  

• Sterilize every night
  
  

• Store milk with labels (date/time)
  
  

• Keep small freezer stash
  
  

I also created a “pumping corner” just a tray with bottles, wipes, milk bags, and the pump.

Simple, clean, peaceful.
