Pumping & strictly BF

What is the best way to successfully pump while still strictly breast feeding. I am trying to increase my frozen supply for my fiance' for when I am not home.

    I have been pumping once a day since LO was 4 weeks. I pump an hour after her first morning feeding, after sunrise. She wakes up around 6:00 am every morning, I pump around 7:00. Your supply is the strongest in the morning.

    Agree with PPs.. Pump in the morning after LO eats, and expect it to take a while before you get enough for a bottle. I usually only pump 0.5-1oz after she eats.

    Yeah, I am pumping about an ounce each time I pump. I am only 1 wk pp and I'm noticing people are waiting longer to pump. I wanted to get my body used to it befor I have to go back to work, which will be sooner than most other moms. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm going to start pumping in the mornings tomorrow. :)
