Breastfeeding and pumping!
Hey everyone! My son came home yesterday from the NICU! I have been exclusively pumping for almost 10 weeks (tomorrow is 10 weeks). He does breastfeed and loves it! But I have an oversupply so I still need to pump. What does your nursing and pumping schedule look like? I have been nursing him and then pumping however sometimes he wakes up right after I finish pumping wanting to nurse some more and gets aggravated that he needs to work harder. I do give him 1 bottle with his multivitamin.
Just need suggestions on a schedule for pumping.
I was going to nurse and then give a bottle for the next feeding so I can pump then and alternate that way, until he’s bigger and can take in more milk.
He’s 2.5 months old (38w3d adjusted) he weighs 5lbs 9oz and left the NICU on 49mls of milk a feeding time.
Thank you!
