I plan on breastfeeding whenever my baby girl gets here. how hard is it ? and she's going to end up going to her dad's…

thanks (: @madelynnb

I haven't had any problems breastfeeding. but I think having a really strong support system is very important!

ok thanks so much (: it helped ALOT ♡

If you go back at 6 weeks I would keep track of feedings the week before to see how often baby eats and pump with that approximate schedule. Put it in the fridge as soon as you can then freeze when you get home or put it in the fridge if that's the milk baby will have the following day. Defrosted milk needs to be used or tossed within 24 hours of being defrosted so keep that in mind. Remember to label with both time, date and approximate oz when packaging your milk.

thanks and after 6 weeks I need to go back to work. so at work it would be every two hours max 4? and then keep it refrigerated until I can put it in the freezer ? @thehowtohippie

Pump while she's away every two hours, Max every 4 to keep up supply. It'll be ants for the first two weeks while your nipples get used to it. But it gets easier. Newborns are on the boob a lot but it won't be like that for long. Your milk will come in around 3-5 days pp till that you'll make colostrum. Your supply will regulate around 6-8 weeks pp. pumping amount is not an indication of how much milk you make its an indication of how much milk you can pump which are two totally different things
