Breastfeeding and building a supply?

Allison

I’m a FTM and I’ve been doing tons of research on breastfeeding! I plan to breastfeed my LO, but I also want to build a milk supply by pumping. How does this work? When should I pump, how long should I pump and how often should I pump to get a good supply going? I’ve heard that if you empty your breasts completely you’re body will increase your supply and I don’t want to deal with engorement! What are y’alls experience with this? TIA! 😊
