When do you start pumping enough to store?
So I began pumping while in the hospital after my little man came 2 1/2 wks early, and kept pumping about every 1-2 hours between his feedings, our lactation consultant said to pump after every feeding so my body will know how much supply and demand to make, and my breasts leak almost everytime around his feeding time. He has a hard time latching on so I use a nipple shield to help us both and it works, I still try to offer him just the nipple but he hasn't quiete latched on good yet, so I do the nipple shield, sometimes a bottle and sub formula when needed because he was underweight at 4lbs 12oz when he was born and kept loosing weight, but is now back up to 4lbs 15oz, he'll be 2wks on Saturday and I'm just freaking out, my hubby goes back to work on Monday and his family is coming for a week on Sunday night... When will I be able to make enough milk to start storing it for backups and when I do go back to work... I'm stressing hardcore 😕 He also has these cluster feeding sessions at night where he'll eat like 3 times in an hour, I don't know how he does it, I feel like I can't keep up with him 😕
