When to pump?

I'm wanting to introduce a bottle in one week for occasional night feedings by my husband and for grandma if my husband and I go out. Should I start pumping this week to get a few bottles saved up? When is the best time to pump during the day, right after a feeding or between feedings?

    I would recommend pumping every day after one of the morning feedings. Your body has to become accustomed to making more milk at a certain time. Then if baby has a bottle, you have to pump at that time too.
    My TTC History:
    2009: missed miscarriage #1 at 9 weeks (trisomy 16)
    2010: Infertility
    2011: Diagnosis and treatment (low sperm count, anastrozole for DH, clomid for me + IUI)
    2012: Baby #1
    2014: Baby #2
    October 2015: missed miscarriage #2 at 11 weeks (trisomy 22)
    March 2016 BFP#5, due November 2016.

    This is good info. I've been wondering this. :)
    If you knew better, you'd do better.
