When/How to Start Pumping

sheri21903

November 2012 in Breastfeeding

DS is just over 3 weeks old and EBF. I'd like to start pumping to build a stash for when I return to work but I'm completely confused on when to add in a pumping session. He seems to be going through a phase where he nurses for shorter sessions more frequently, likeevery 2-2.5 hours, even through the night. Should I try to squeeze in a session in between nursing, or pump the other side while he's nursing?

Also, the real concern is that I have a work obligation that I have to attend next Wednesday and I will be gone for approximately 11-12 hours. DS has taken a bottle of pumped milk before on 2 occassions, but I have no idea how to pump enough for an entire day...if that's even possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
