So I returned to work for the past 4 days and my hours are Monday-Friday 7 am-noon and every Sunday 8 hours. Today is my first Sunday working. My husband is caring for our son. Before work during the week I nurse my son before I leave so he finishes eating at 6:15 am. Then my husband says he only eats 2-3 ounces while I am way and I pump once while at work and get about 8 ounces. Then I nurse him when I get home at 12:30 pm. Is this normal for amount to eat while I am away? I always thought they are supposed to eat what around what you pump. And my husband says he doesn't act hungry much just really fussy when I am away.

Also, how many times do you pump in an 8 hour day? And for how long? I usually can get 2 milk let downs during each session when I pump at work

And also, if on the weekend I have my mother in law watch him for a few hours while I run errands and she gives him a 2 oz bottle, do I just have to pump 2 oz that day and does it matter what time? Obviously I can't pump when he would normally eat because I am out running errands.

Thanks for helping! I am a first time mom :)
