Breast pumping

sujana22

I have been breastfeefing my baby . I have been breast pumping twice a day since I prefer to feed baby from the bottle at night . She drink 3 oz and sleeps well. How often are you breast pumping if you are breastfeefing your baby? Also what is the duration you are pumping.

20 minute pumps every 3 hours only at night-breastfeed during the day. LO has to have 4 fortified bottles a day (breastmilk with added neosure to make the breastmilk 24 calories as apposed to 20 calories breastmilk usually is) i have a preemie who was born at 3 lbs 7 ozs though so she needs fattened up.

Any time she gets a bottle, you should be pumping. 15-20 minutes is probably sufficient for pumping duration. I would pump until the milk stopped, try the "let down" button again to see if I'd get a second let down, then pump until milk from the second let down stopped (or until a few minutes after milk stopped if no second let down).
