Breastfeeding -AND- Pumping
My LO has started going one 6 hour stretch at night without nursing. This morning I did my first pumping session after her morning feeding. I got ~2oz left side and ~1oz right side.
My question is... how long should I pump?
I sort of just went this morning until I noticed things slowing down, which my right side finished much sooner, but baby nursed that side longer this morning.
I do not want to mess up my supply!
She's only 2 weeks old so I can't introduce a bottle just yet. My hope is that I have the stored milk supply solely for when either:
A) I'm under the weather and not up for nursing
B) Getting away from the house for more than 3 hours
C) Christmas travel
D) Give my husband a glance to feed LO and bond some in that way
