Breastfeeding

Pumping and supply question

I am currently pumping and giving DD a bottle at almost every feeding.  I would love to not have to pump and bottle feed but we have had latching and nursing issues from the beginning. I still try to nurse her a few times a day and hoping she gets the hang of it soon. In the meantime I pump after every feeding for 15 minutes and get almost 4 oz.  DD drinks between 2.5-3 oz and I am starting to get quite a stash of bm in the fridge.  My question is do I start to freeze this already or should I reduce my pumping down to 10 minutes instead to be better in line with her demand?  It seems a bit early to start a freezer stash already.

    I would keep up with the 15 min sessions, she will eventually drink more and it would be nice to not have to work harder to build up your supply. If you are already pumping then its great to start a freezer stash!! Freeze it now while you can before she eats it all and you dont have leftovers! good luck!!!
