So my baby is exclusively breast fed, any tips on how to get a good stash before I return to work? When I pump I only get about 2 ounces of milk, that’s it! I also read moms who exclusively breast feed normally pump little to almost nothing of milk . Tips please

Just pump on opposite of nursing side. Just do your best but you'll be pumping each day for next days once your stash is up.

How many times you think I should be pumping ? And you think my manual pump is good enough , or my electrical one

totally up to you. I only pumped in mornings and afternoon because got most milk. I like manual pumps personally.

Try pumping for longer even after no more milk is coming out, that basically tells your breast they need to produce more milk & eventually they will

Thank you , I hardly pump but when I do it’s so discouraging

My baby is exclusively bf and I pump 3 times a day. I get at least 4 oz from each breast in the morning and maybe 2.5 from each the other two times.

Just keep pumping. I ebf'd until I went back to work. I get about 8 oz first thing in the morning, then 5 to 8 oz subsequent sessions depending on how long I've gone between a pumping or feeding. I have a deep freezer of 1,000 ounces, maybe more. I've stopped counting it. Lol.

Fed is best! Don't stress too much. Breastfeeding didn't work out for my first. It was such a struggle. I was prepared for that again, but was pleasantly surprised.

Early morning is the best time to pump. It stores back up. You can feed on one side and pump the other then alternate. Breast milk is supply and demand so don’t give up. The more you pump/feed the more you’ll get.
