Sorry it’s a few questions (long post)

How do you guys pump? As in how long are your session on each side or all together?

Do you EP or do you BF, too?

I’m a stay at home mom for now and might be looking into a part time job, hopefully something from home.

*How do you get yourself to make more milk than what you need in a day?*

My girl is 5 days old and is eating 60mls/2oz every feeding. I’m making just enough to feed her through the day. I’ve decided that sleep is a necessity and am trying to train my body into pumping one time a night starting from doing nothing a night. I know right now I should pump every two hours on the dot but if I did that I would never sleep. I am currently pumping every two hours from the start of my previous pumping session so technically every hour and a half. My supply definitely has dwindled a bit because I don’t pump at night. I got 130mls this morning, then 100mls, then 80mls, and this last session I got 60mls. What do I do guys? I pumped in between the second session and third because I believe that I have a clogged duct. It hasn’t come completely out yet but in that session I used my silicone pump and got 20mls from both sides.

I don’t want to get discouraged and I do everyday. We haven’t had to use formula since the hospital and I’m so proud. But I really want to get my supply up to make more to have in stock. Any advice?
