Power pumping?

Question

How long do you normally go in between pumping sessions? How many times a day do you power pump? Is each session a “power pump” for you?
Trying to get a supply established and a stash started before I go back to work next week (my baby is 3 weeks old, and eats like no other, so I’m not expecting a LARGE stash, but just trying to get a few extra feedings in the freezer for the nanny... but he’s really making it quite hard at the rate he eats 😂😂).

Answer

In the beginning like that, I think it would suffice to power pump twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Also, you should still be pumping every 2-3 hours, but if that's not feasible, try every 3-4 hours. Until 12 weeks pp your milk is still trying to regulate, so when you drop pumps this early, you risk decreasing your milk production. So try to still pump often, and drink lots of water!

Answer

I just started power pumping and i do it twice a day. AM and PM. I also pump every 2 to 3 hrs during the day and 3 to 4 hrs at night (depending on babys schedule)  today will be my 3rd day incorporating the power pumps and i started seeing an increase yesterday... not huge but because i track every thing on an app i saw yesterday was my biggest output day since i started pumping... my son will be 3 wks on Thursday.
