Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Pumping schedule

Hello! 
I started pumping when baby turned two weeks old. So far I’ve only been able to pump during the day. 
If I pump every time baby feeds during the day, will that be enough to have a milk bank? 
Can anyone tell me how the manage to pump at night? I’m sleeping so little I make use of every minute I can get at night to sleep.

    hey! yeah, pumping during the day is a great start, and if you keep it up, you might build a nice stash, but tbh, pumping at night can be tough – maybe try a quick pump right after the last feed before bed?
    here's what the 'Heal Baby Care App' says....Hello! It's great that you're pumping for your baby. Pumping every time your baby feeds during the day can help build a good milk supply, but it may take some time to establish a significant stash. To manage pumping at night, consider setting a schedule where you pump right after a nighttime feeding, which can help you maximize your sleep while still collecting milk
    Have you thought about using a hands-free pumping bra or a double electric pump to make the process easier?
