Wait at least 6 weeks to pump if you plan on pumping so that your supply is regulated. It's to be safe so you aren't at risk of clogged ducts or mastitis. It's hard for the first couple months but worth it! You will probably feel hungry all the time. And babies cluster feed meaning eat a lot sometimes so it may seem your supply is low when indeed it isn't! They just grow and need to feed more often. If you suspect low supply just nurse nurse nurse! ;)
you should start pumping and storing right away. my sister told me that it helps your body produce more milk by mangling it think you have more than one baby. but @preggerstone right about the clogged ducts. if you're a stay at home mom it's easier to pump more frequently
Feed on demand. It may be time consuming in the first month or so but it gets easier. Start pumping as soon as possible and freezing so you build a stash! Make sure your baby has the proper latch BEFORE leaving the hospital it'll help make things much easier
Milk comes in on the 4th day and if baby doesn't latch or isnt latching proper check for a lip or tongue tie and get it fixed as soon as you can because it will help baby latch and I would have got my daughter check if I would have know about what they where @azurisantez715

One breast will look a lot smaller than the other, and it's okay. And baby might just want to feed off of one, and that's okay too.
