I’ve read somewhere that if we start pumping, then we always have to continue pumping. Is that true?

My friend also told me I can do it here and there when I want too and don’t have to do it all the time.

I’m a bit nervous about going out to places (I’m a FTM with a 5 week old boy) and breastfeeding, I am only confident in doing the football hold position to feed so I wouldn’t be able to do that out and about.

So would I be able to pump and make up a few bottles from it and then stop until the next time I want to make up bottles?

If so, how would I go about it? I read to do it after an hour of the first feed in the morning. Can I just double pump and be over and done with?

I’ve read up info online but I’m still quite confused 🤷🏻‍♀️

How much per bottle is a standard feed for Bub? He feeds for about half hour or more on both breasts.

So would this example be what the day would look like?

7AM- Feed baby

8AM (or 8:30AM after hes done?)- Pump

11AM- Feed baby

Then continue like normal?

Sorry for all the questions 😅
