I know that's kind of contradictive (sorry, lol), but you can still pump, just make sure you pay attention to your boob and make sure you take care of yourself.
If you nurse on demand and let baby comfort nurse you should be okay with not pumping. I just told someone else this, if you're trying to boost supply it's not recommended to pump before 6 weeks pp (u less advised by your doctor or the baby's Doctor) because you risk getting engorged and have other breast/breastfeeding issues. You can pump after nursing sessions. That will draw out fattier hind milk (assuming your body responds well to pumps).

@brianavelazquez, to build your supply it's every two hours. Let her nurse then pump so you're not empty when she's trying to eat.

^^ good questions @whitneym. My hospital recommended every 2 1/2 hours or so.
