when did you start pumping?

Question

When did you start pumping after having a baby? I'm new to this, but I just had my baby 6 days ago and I've been ebf since she was born.

Answer

About an hour or 2 after she was born. She was premature so she can't breastfeed.

Answer

Starting to Pump
Once you have selected or rented a pump, you can start collecting milk any time. In the first two weeks after your baby is born, you may want to pump occasionally to relieve engorgement - you can save this milk, but don't get carried away. Pumping a lot in these early weeks tells your body that you had triplets, and brings in an enormous milk supply. While this may sound like a good thing, it puts you at very high risk for breast problems like plugged ducts and engorgement.
When your baby is a little older, you can start adding pumping to your daily routine. While it's not necessary, it's comforting to have a little bit of a stash of milk built up before you return to work. Warning - be sure to read this page on smart use of your freezer stash! To do this, start adding a pumping session at about the same time each day as soon as you want to - but it's best if it's at least two weeks before you return to work.
When you first start pumping, you will get very little milk.This is normal. After all, you've just spent the first weeks of your baby's life getting your milk supply into an exact balance with your baby's needs. There's not supposed to be any extra. What you're doing by pumping in these early days is building a little bit of a stash, and getting used to pumping. You're also increasing your milk supply by just a little bit.
