When to pump?

Hi All!  I want to start pumping but I'm not sure when to actually pump.  DS eats about every 2-3 hours (he's three weeks old), should I pump what I can right after he eats or wait an hour?  DH wants to be able to have that bonding experience and I want DS to get used to bottles for when I go back to work.  Any tips/suggestions is appreciated.

    I would pump after you feed.  You will also get the most in the AM.  Are you planning on going back to work soon?  I would wait a couple weeks to start pumping since your body is regulating itself and pumping will just stimulate and produce more.
