How do I handle breast feeding if I’m out with friends away from baby ?

Question

Probably a silly question but I’m trying to feel as prepared as I can for breast feeding. I know I will learn as I go but I’m just curious. I plan to pump a little to build a freezer stash so my husband can help with feedings or if I’m away from baby at all. 
So I’m confused because they say to pump or feed every 3 hours but if my husband takes over one of the feeds at night so I can sleep won’t that cause my breasts to get engorged? 
Or if I go out with friends for brunch or something (not intending to do this anytime soon because of covid and winter time but I’m just curious) what do I do if I’m out for longer than 3 hours ? Baby is fed at home of course with frozen milk but what about my boobs am I going to have to pump while out or hand express so I don’t get engorged?
Hope this makes sense. I’m so nervous to breast feed 😂

Answer

Don’t be nervous! I highly recommend taking a breast feeding course.  In general, you will want to pump whenever baby is taking a bottle.  Breast milk is demand=supply, so if baby takes a bottle you need to show your body that demand, in order to keep up your supply.  So, back to your question, if your husband takes a night feed with a bottle you will need to pump at that time, same goes if you are away from baby.  If they get a bottle, you need to pump.  For example, while I was working my daughter would take 3 bottles, so I had to pump 3 times during my work day.  For out and about you can always invest in a manual pump, or a wearable pump like elvie or willow.  Best of luck!

Answer

You always pump to replace the bottle.
For night feedings, when baby is really small and they take a while to eat pumping can be faster and let you get back to sleep quicker. Honestly one your baby is a more efficient easter just feeding them well be faster. 
For going out. When the baby is small and you're still establishing your supply,  the timing is pretty important. So you'd need to either bring your pump with you or leave as soon as baby is done eating and make sure you are back before three hours (or just bring baby with you). It can be tough, and there are certain things that you probably just won't be able to do when the baby is really small. Once they've settled into more of a schedule and your supply is established you can probably get away with fudging the timing a little bit and it gets easier to plan ahead.

Answer

U have to pump to replace the bottle feed.

Answer

If your baby is taking a bottle and not feeding from your breast, you’ll have to pump to replace that feeding. If you’re planning on being away from baby for a period of time, bring your pump. Having dad help at night wasn’t really feasible for us, since I would have to pump anyways. Might as well just feed the baby.
