I pumped at the hospital and also while at home. I stuck to a strict schedule. They had a pump there for me everyday, injust had to bring all the equipment, tubes, etc. But they has the machine

Pump about every two hours. They will probably have a room setup with a hospital grade pump in the NICU. You can ask one of the nurses to show you how to use it

If you plan on BFing then pump until she is able to latch. The hospital should have a LC, ask a nurse to talk to them and they can help you get set up. If you aren't wanting to pump or BF, you don't want to do this stuff.  Lol

I’ve never had my baby in nice this long however if your 5 days pp it’s normal to be engorged as your milk will be coming in full force now .. keep pumping regularly and you should have some relief in the next few days as your supply regulates with your pumping.
