When do you find time to pump?

Question

I have a 5 week old who nurses on demand about every 2 - 2.5 hours. She almost always nurses herself to sleep and refuses to be put down, so I'm always holding her. I do have a haakaa that I use sometimes, but when do you guys find time to pump??

Answer

I use my silicone pump every feeding I can while I’m at home. Especially in the middle of the night when my little one goes longer stretches and I’m engorged. I limit her feedings at 5 mins each breast and switching breast until she unlatches.

Answer

Same exact thing happens to me. 
I use the haakah almost every time I nurse. And after my son stops nursing I’ll put a manual Medela pump on the same side to pump, then switch sides and pump some more, all while holding the baby. 
If I get lucky enough to put him down after he nursed than I’ll do it, but it’s rare. I find the manual pump is much easier to do.

Answer

I should add that she nurses for about 40min each time!
