How much to pump!? Okay, so now we have figured out the breast pump (yay!), how the heck much will I…

There's a formula that you can use to work it out but I have no idea what it is, mchn worked it out for me.

Basically though you need to work out how much he has per feed and the number of feeds per day.

I did find this link so it may give you a starting point.

Ah, fantastic. Thank you!

The hospital used that formula with Kyro but were under feeding him. At 12 weeks any where between 100-150mls, I would ensure to have on hand just incase.

The formula woozel gave you is correct, but with breastfed babies is just a guess really.

Pump what you can, and try not to stress too much over it because you might find you can't pump if you're stressing.

Honestly with how soon you will be going in, I'd just pump as much as possible.

I'd be pumping after every feed for about 30 minutes each side.

I've got 789mls in my freezer, and that was from pumping every night for 30 minutes each side (if it's a double only 30 minutes as you can pump both sides at the same time) for a week before I went to bed, so if you have good supply, and pump after every feed you should get a good amount of milk stashed away over next 24ish hrs.

Good luck hun.

I'm not going to pressure myself into pumping 'enough' as it was definitely short notice for the surgery, because, hey, it's not the end of the world if he has a little bit of formula for a night.

I'll just be glad to have this gallbladder out, lol.

Thank you! ?

The midwife tools me what I can pum is what my baby drinks :(

I got confuse cause sometime I can do 120ml from one side so how dose my only 19 days drinks 240ml
