Should I be pumping in between feeds?

Question

My sweet girl is one week old now and I feel like my milk supply isn't as much as it was before. Should I be pumping in between feedings to trick my body into producing more ? I don't think she's left unsatisfied but it would be nice to be able to pump and store away for future use

Answer

It is totally up to you if you want to pump and store for future use. After the first week or so it may feel like the supply has reduced, but the truth is, your body just adjusted for your baby's needs after overproducing at the very beginning.
