I had my daughter 10 days ago. I am ebf but wondering when to pump. I haven't quite mastered timing yet and only do so once a day. should I pump more? also how do I know my daughter is getting enough to eat? not to mention people say to keep them awake while they feed but she always sleep eats. how do I keep her awake to eat? I feel bad trying to keep her up all the time for eating. please help

@sarahdrew, I know I feel like I lucked out with getting to do all my research and asking questions before I chose her.

@raegenice, like I said to @raegenice find a good lactation consultant... mine has been a lifesaver

also remember it takes about 8 weeks for your supply to regulate

@sarahdrew, I've heard that also. I still have learning to do as I'm a first time mom. There's a lot of back and forth on what's best and what's not. I do know that baby needs that hind milk though, definitely right about that.

@sarahdrew, thank you. i guess I am just worrying too much. I just don't want to give up or get discouraged or do something wrong.

@raegenice, I was told not to pump directly after nursing as you will only get hindmilk, and you want a mix of both foremilk and hindmilk... of course if baby doesn't empty you enough then yes immediately pump

@marie04, I heard that you should ebf for the first month at least and then pump if you need to

my daughter sleeps thru her bedtime feed and her middle of the night feed (she's 4 months now) I don't think it matters they still know what to do
