going back to work in a month. baby is 1 week old. when do you suggest starting to form a supply and…

Yes. Pump whatever boob baby isn't eating from every time baby feeds. That's how I built mine up. Because when you go back to work, you should pump the same as babies feeding schedule to keep your supply in check

Also empty the breast baby does feed from if baby doesn't

she eats off of both already ;-; @kparis

Then I would just empty them after her and set up a pumping schedule like me for example just to give you an idea, regardless of when she eats I pump when I wake up, midday around 3-4, 8-9 and then right before I lay down. And anytime I feel heavy and she's not hungry I empty them. I have a strong supply though

Okay thank you @kparis

Your welcome, I hope I helped some!

You should always let your baby feed on one boob per feeding. The milk they get at first doesn't have as much fat as the hind milk does. I learned this lesson the hard way. Then pump the other side for the same amount of time baby nursed for.

Doctor said it was good that she's eating off of both.. @harranmommy

@peanuts1mom, I pump every 3 hours day and night religiously and exclusively breast feed. I've completed 2 100 ct boxes of storage bag, and on my third box. I've pumped 1000-1200 ozs of milk stored for when I return to work. Not to mention donated 100 oz and almost filling a new freezer for breast milk only. That schedule have worked for me for 12 weeks this far.

thank you @nurseriri
