ATTENTION! Mothers who BREASTFEED and Work!! please i need some advice on how this works. Im due back to work in about 5 weeks and im wondering how do i prepare for this...do i start pumping and freezing milk now?? and if so, how often should i being that my son still feeds off me...and like for a 8 hour day how much milk is enough...like im SO lost lol ...I didn't think I'd make it this far breastfeeding.
ok. and when i drop him off..lets say its about 4oz per bag,how many bags should i give the daycare??@bonniesue
Start now. Pump after each feeding. It's normal for it to not be much Since you're also nursing. I think .5 to an oz is normal, anything additional is an over supply. If baby doesn't wake up at night try to pump then as well. If you're dedicated now you should have no issue with having milk saved. It's also helpful to write date and time you pumped on milk saver bags
It just depends some when pump the night before for the next day. I started pumping after 2 weeks. I pumped while my daughter was sleep during the day and while she slept at night. When you go back to work it is every two to three hours. You have keep your milk supply. Make sure your baby will take a bottle. Some breast fed babies don't like bottles.@vannah,
