how much should i pump to make sure my supply will be enough for him to get what he needs?

Every two hours @shann

thanks @whitneym

@shann, you're welcome

If you strictly breastfeed/nurse him you shouldn't get to worry so much about boosting your supply from pumping. I've heard that unless you have to pump (example I had to *for my preemie) that its not recommended to pump before 6 weeks pp because it might cause you to get engorged. I would recommend LOTS of water & rolled oats (oatmeal) as a milk booster. I also have lists of foods that may help milk production as well, but those are some of the cheapest things I know of.

okay thank you @kimberlyyyy I did today for the first time only got 1/2 once I just wanted to make sure he was getting what he should he hasn't pooped today

I mean, you totally can pump, just watch out for your boobs swelling, hurting, getting clogged, etc. chances are if he's content after nursing he's getting what he needs. Breastfed babies can go 5 days without a poop.

okay I'll keep that in mind he def has peed allot and he is happy

if you are wanting to build up a supply for later; pump on the opposite breast while you nurse on the other side. your natural let down will give you the max your body is producing at that moment. remember to switch baby and pump every other feeding obviously. I agree with lots of water and the rolling oats ( old fashion oats) and flax seeds. good luck momma. don't let it stress you. your body knows what to do :) @shann

thank you so much for the encouraging words it's only been 3 days it's went better than I could of imagined I just got worried Is all
