Breastfeeding & pumping

Kfries1311

Hi moms! First of all I am just so excited after 4 weeks of trying to get my LO to latch & giving up he figured out to latch again all by himself.. Sure it's still a little rocky but we are improving day by day. So with that said. How often are you moms pumping . I was exclusively pumping 8-10 times a day & have a well established supply stocked up in my freezer. & I will be returning back to work the end of October.

I pump whenever he eats. Mine utterly refuse to nurse during the day, though does just fine overnight, go figure. At 8 weeks old he's eating about 7 times a day, 2 of those at night where he'll nurse, so I pump the other 5 times. I have no extra milk though, he eats everything I pump.

We have a ton stored in the freezer. If he doesn't nurse (he is picky, and doesn't often) I am now only pumping about 5 times in 24 hrs. I get about 8 oz each time. He is 8 weeks and so far I'm still keeping up. The first 6 weeks, was 7 times a day. I now don't pump overnight unless I wake up (he usually only gets up once early in the morning)

Once a day. Twice if I'm lucky since I have a 21 month old too. I have until the beginning of Nov though to built up a stash before I go back to work.

Right now I'm pumping three times per day. Once at night right before I go to bed, after DDs MOTN feeding, and after her early morning feeding. Once I go back to work I will probably just keep doing the before bed pumping session.

My LO is at DC during the work week, so I pump at 6am, 9am, and 3pm. I'm only getting about 6-8 oz each time.  But he eats everything I can pump at DC.

At night/weekends he eats every 3 hrs, and won't take a bottle when at home.

See I'm lucky if I pump 2-3 ounces when I pump. I was having a supply shortage so now I am hoping that since he is latching that. My supply will pick back up

I work 4 10s on 3rd shift. I pump every 2hrs at work...so 3 times a night. I BF during the day when I'm home. On my 3 days off I have been pumping once a day now that LO is sleeping longer at nights. I'll also pump sometimes prior to going to the gym to make it more comfortable for me and to prevent a chance of leaking.
