BF and Pumping

Amy • Enjoying life as a new parent to a baby girl

I’ve been BF our baby girl who just turned two weeks today. I have been using a nipple shield as that was the only way to get her to latch without her going crazy and without me losing my sanity trying to calm her down. The LC suggested pumping as well to make sure my supply didn’t get affected. I have been trying to pump in the morning and a few times during the day.

Just curious for other moms who are BF and also pumping, how much are you pumping each session? Does 4-5 oz total per session sound pretty good? I usually pump about 30 min to an hour after I feed her. Thanks!
