ok my daughter isnt here yet and after shes born i plan on going back to work so my ? is how often should i pump if im not with her or would i pump every to hours like i would if she was feeding directly off me ( first time mom)

wait until 6 weeks to pump if you can so you don't get oversupply or mastitis.  start pumping a week before you go. once a day after morning feed. then pump evey 2 or 3 hours at work. It's important to pump on your days off as well.

don't start pumping until 1 month old. visit kellymom.com

I pump at work every 4 hours but feed on command when I'm home. my supply hasn't dropped & my son is now 3 months old & huge. talk to a lactation consultant they will be able to tell you exactly what to do.

thats what i thought it might be 6 months befor i go back it just depends on my husbands work if i have to go back sooner

Jessie · Answer

yes, pump every two hours. If you can start pumping while you're on maternity leave so you have a good supply for whoever is watching your baby during the time you're at work. :)
