When do you pump?

Question

I’m having a hard time figuring out when to pump! I have a five week old and I think I’m ready to start storing milk but I also have two older children that I care for. Between getting ready for school, cooking, taking a much needed nap, house work, work (part time), etc, I just don’t understand when I’m supposed to pump! Any advice? What do you do?

Answer

If baby doesn’t normally feed from both boobs, pump the other while he/she feeds. If you do that no extra time should be needed to pump.

Answer

Feed from one side and pump from the other and at the next feeding switch sides

Answer

If you haven’t already, get a hands free pumping bra. Game changer. 100% pumped while making dinner tonight 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

My lactation consultant said 15 mins every 3 hours.

Answer

When I was on maternity leave, I only pumped when I felt engorged and my son was sleeping. When I went back to work, I just pumped at work.

Answer

I feel you! My LO is 4 months and I’m about done with the pumping business because I just do not have time.
