Someone message me fir breastfeeding and pumping advice. Feeding was going great until I started to…

How often do you pump. How old is baby.

After each feeding baby is 5 days old

@thehowtohippie,

Don't pump that much you'll create an over supply or take away from baby by not having enough for the next feeding. Unless you want a stash for going back to work you don't need to pump until after 6 weeks when you've regulated your supply. Pump 30 minutes after the first morning feeding and at night. If you're going back to work there's no reason for a stash as long as you pump the amount per day as baby eats that's fine. Just have the amount you need for the next day.

No work stay at home momma. I wanted my husband to feed the baby while I got some sleep. Now in thinking I'll wait

@thehowtohippie,

That's fine but you don't need to pump so much. Wait till your supply is regulated you dont want to introduce a bottle yet anyways could cause nipple confusion. Wait the 6 weeks regulate your supply out for what baby needs and then pump once a day 30-45 minutes after the first feeding.

Ok that you I will @thehowtohippie

If you have any more advice about it let me know please
