Reintroducing breast
Has anyone had success reintroducing breast feeding after exclusively pumping for a while? My baby is 5 weeks old and has been bottle fed since the beginning (she couldn’t latch). A few days ago we were doing skin to skin and I decided to give breastfeeding another try and she latched (not sure how well, but it wasn’t painful for me). Now I’m thinking of trying multiple times a day, but I am confused as to now I should go about pumping. Right now I’m pumping 6 times a day and produce anywhere between 38-42 oz a day. Should I start dropping pump sessions? I can’t figure out a schedule with baby. Because after I pump she wants to eat but my breasts are empty. So then I’ll give her my breast about 2 hours after a bottle but she’s not very hungry.
