When to pump?🤱🏻

Question

I really want to pump but I don’t know when to do it. My son is 2 months old, he eats every 20-45 min so I don’t really know when to pump, he naps but like for 10 min-15 min and then he wakes up.  if I pump and then he wants to eat he will get pissed because my breast will be “empty”. Help! I’m only pumping at night but I only get 1-2 oz to 4-5 max.

Answer

The more you pump, the more you produce. Try to pump every hour or two :)

Answer

Pump immediately after nursing and if you have to offer that milk then that's fine. Eventually he'll get on a routine and so will you. Use a haakaa when nursing, too, and pump in the middle of the night if you need to build your stash for work.

Answer

When my son was very little like this and I was still pumping, I would bottle feed him and then have him in a chair in front of me while I pumped. That way I knew he was full and more likely to be happy enough for 20-30 minutes while I pumped.
