EBF andpumping?

Question

I am exclusively breastfeeding, but I'd like to start pumping to develop a freezer stash because at some point I'd like to introduce my son to a bottle. For those who exclusively breastfeed, how do you incorporate pumping for the sole purpose of creating a freezer sash? I worry about not knowing if my son wants to cluster feed, and if I pump and and he ends up wanting to eat right after me pumping, what do I do?

Answer

Use a hakaa but I also added pumping once daily for just like 10-15 min towards the end of my maternity leave just so we would have some bags in the freezer and some milk to try a bottle. It took my son several tries to take a bottle so I was glad we had a few extra bags

Answer

I’m a SAHM and exclusively breastfeed. In the beginning I used a haakaa on the breast my daughter wasn’t nursing on at the time and actually saved over 100 ounces. She would only get a bottle when I needed to be away from her for more then a few hours, which was rare. Then she stopped taking bottles at 3 months🙃 she’s 8 months now and will occasionally take a bit of milk in a sippy cup if my mom is watching her for a little while, but I’m pretty much with her 24/7.  
Are you a SAHM or are you going back to work? If you’re working I don’t really know what the best approach would be, but if you’re a SAHM I’d suggest sticking to the haakaa unless you’re away from baby and have to miss a feed, then you can pump for that feed. I personally have one momcozy s12 and it worked great for my minimal needs.

Answer

There’s no reason to pump at all.  Invest in a haaka. That catches the let down on the opposite breast baby is nursing on and gets enough milk for a small stash. There’s no need for more than 2-3days worth in the freezer when ebf. 
1-1.25 oz per hour is all that’s needed and never more than 4oz.
