Pumping Question

kmhb2010

If my son eats every 2-3 hours but I can only pump at work twice...once 4 hours after my morning pump and another 2 hours after, will that mess with my supply? Basically I would pump at 7 or 8, then 11:15ish, and then about 1 or 2ish. I'll pick up my son and breastfeed around 4:30 and the rest of the night. Do you think that is enough pumping sessions? If you can't tell I'm worried about not pumping enough milk. I'm a teacher so I don't have a lot of flexibility, but since I go back tomorrow and it's the last week of school and I only have 2 1/2 days with students I can be a little more flexible.

You should be fine. That's exactly what I did. Even though DD ate every 2-3 hours, I only pumped twice a day at work. I have a very deadline-driven job and it was tough to take breaks. No issues, and we breastfed for 13 months. The only time my supply tanked was when I gave up pumping altogether.
