❗️❗️PUMPING MAMAS❗️❗️
I need advice! Ok, so I have started pumping to get my milk supply started for when I go to work in a couple weeks and I am so lost with all of this!
So...for example, my baby is sleeping but I could feel my milk drop so I am pumping, my question is, say he wakes up like 5 mins after I'm done pumping. What do I do?? Normally I would feed him the bottle I just pumped, but since I'm trying to save up obviously that's not what I want to do.
If I nurse him right after I get done pumping is more milk going to let down for him that quick??

It's actually a misconception that people think that breasts can really "empty", believe or not, the breast is not built to HOLD milk, it is designed to PRODUCE milk as the baby feeds! So even if you had to pump because you were feeling engorged, if your baby wakes up and is hungry, you can latch the baby and let him nurse and as he continues to suck, your breasts will let down every so often with more milk! You'll tell when there's a let down when the baby sucks faster, swallows louder, and you may feel a tingling sensation or pinching feeling if you're like me lol although your baby may get impatient waiting for the next let down, so you'll have to deal with baby possibly pulling and getting mad until the next let down comes haha my lil girl is always impatient for that first let down unless I'm engorged and there's a lot of milk in there already 😜

My personal opinion is that if I felt my milk let down and needed to nurse I would try to get my baby to nurse and then when the baby is done, pump out the rest. Otherwise you'll keep running into that issue. If you pump until you're empty then it takes around 30 mins for there to be a substantial amount of milk for your baby again (from what I was told, you should double check).
