guide to pumping/ storing?

Question

I'm going to have to leave home for a day (and possibly a night) coming up and baby will be home with dad when she's just 5 weeks old. Then at 12 weeks I need to return to work.

I have a pump but have no idea when to start pumping or how much/how often.

Anybody know a good website or could give me some info?

Answer

I've heard wonderful things about kellymom.com

Answer

Are you going to switch to exclusively pumping or just while you're gone? You can start pumping anytime.  I exclusively pumped and my schedule was 15mins every 4 to 5 hours.

Answer

You should start pumping now in between feedings to get your milk supply up

Answer

I'm reading a book called Work Pump Repeat right now and it's great for advice and tips on returning to work while breastfeeding. Got it on Amazon

Answer

Thanks! Not planning on pumping exclusively.. just while I'm working and maybe a night feeding. If that works out. My pump from insurance still isn't here 😡 but should be here by Monday. So I'll start right away.

Answer

If you go to exclusively pumping every 3-4 hours for 15-20 min. Not sure if you ate still breastfeeding though,  sorry.
