Pumping?!

Question

How often do you pump and how much do you get? I want to pump along with breastfeeding, so hubby can help and for night time feedings.

Answer

With my first I pumped every two hours for twenty minutes. I got nothing.

Answer

The first month I pumped every 2 hours (every time my son would need to eat).  But I pumped exclusively as my son refused to latch.  I went from barely an ounce each side to (now... at 11 weeks) 3-5 ounces each side.
 
After 4 weeks I began to pump every 2-4 hours depending on what I am doing.  At the 4 hour mark my boobs HURT... I had mastitis at 4 weeks, so I am more precautious not to get that again (I had it from clogged milk ducts due to not pumping enough).

Answer

Every three hours is what I would do, or right after feeding. I didn't get a ton but would get 5-6 ounces
