I'm 3 weeks PP and have been pumping/nursing. This is my advice. I only nursed for week 1. Week 2 I would nurse her on one breast and pump the other. I pump first thing in the morning bc you produce more. I pump so I can freeze. I also pump enough so my husband can feed her and she can get used to taking a bottle. Switch breasts at every feeding. If I nurse her on my right and pump my left next feeding I'll pump my right and nurse on my left. You'll learn your body and what it does super fast. I have an oversupply and it's a blessing and a curse.
Need new mom advice!
I'm due in a few weeks and plan to breastfeed and pump. I'm taking a class on breastfeeding soon but looking for any helpful advice you ladies have since I am new to this! I'm planning to mostly breastfeed while on maternity leave (10 weeks) but want to pump and build a supply for when I go back to work. Do I exclusively breastfeed for a while until baby and I get the hang of it, and then pump later after a few weeks to build supply for going back to work? Or pump from the beginning? And any other advice appreciated!
