Working mamas: do you pump after you nurse baby in morning as well as every 3ish hr you are away from baby at work?

Question

Just wondering if I should drop morning after nursing pump when I go back to work Nov 15! 
That’s all I pump right now and feed on demand rest of day
Should I nurse baby when I’m with her only, and then just pump when I’m away from her at work??
I would appreciate advice or whatever y’all do that works!! TIA

Answer

When I first went back, I was waking early to pump one boob and BF from the rest(6am), then pumped 3x at work (9,12,3) then BF at home. I had an over abundance of milk, so stopped pumping the one boob first thing, and pushed my first pump a little earlier at work (815-830). Slowly, I haven’t felt as engorged in the AM 👍🏼

Answer

I did the same to prep for work. I dropped the 1st morning pump and just pump when I get to work at 9 unless she skipped a feed the night before and I'm super engorged. I only pump when I'm at work and when I'm at home I feed on demand.
