Mommas who exclusively pump, do you pump every so many hours or just when your baby eats?
I exclusively pump every 2-3 hours, with one “power pumping” session a day. My babies are in the nicu, so latching them to my breast isn’t really an option when I can only be with them for a few hours a day.
I used to only pump and now I breastfeed and pump. But when I would pump I usually would pump every 2 hours or every time I would leak. It’s best since if you don’t pump constantly you can get milk clots .
When I pumped (many moons ago Lol), I did every 3 hours minimum. Even through the night. My son struggled with latch, so I would try to get him to nurse first, and if that didn’t work, he’d get a bottle of breast milk and then I pumped.
