Pumping Advise Needed

Rocklandholly

With baby #1 I had a bump, but was terrified of it and overwhelmed in general. DS was loosing weight and I had to supplement w/formula, so I only ended up BF for 7 wks.  I would like to do it longer and know I need the pump to keep it rolling...any advise? When should I start pumping?  Do I need the medela or special bottles for pumped milk?  Any tips would be great!

You dont even need at pump, at least not in the beginning.  Every baby is different, this baby may not have any trouble at all.  A lot of sources dont recommend pumping for four weeks anyway.  I'd check out some BF websites like LLL or Kellymom for advice on BF and pumping in general.
