BFing, working moms

How many times do you pump a day at work? I don't have supply issues when it comes to nursing, but I don't get much when pumping.

Re: BFing, working moms

  • I'm only pumping- and not back at work yet (I go back tomorrow), but I plan on pumping twice during my work day.  I work 7:30 to 4.  I plan on pumping about 5:30am and then around 10 and around 2 and then after I get home.  We'll see if that actually works, though.

    If you normally BF, I would try to pump as often as your kids normally eat.

    When are you going back to work?  Good luck!

  • Three weeks from today :( I want to go back, but I'm going to miss them so much. I was planning on feeding them around 5:30, shower, then pump. Then pump again at 11 and 2:30 while at school. I have to be there from 7:45-3:15 (sometiems longer).

  • I BFed in the am, then pumped right after.

    Went to work

    Pumped at lunch

    After work BFed and pumped right after

    BFed them a dream feed

    Pumped before I went to bed.

    They took 2 bottles at daycare.
  • I'm a teacher too and tried sometimes to squeeze in a 2nd pump.

    I also rented a symphony. It helped keep supply up but I did see a dip and have to start taking fenugreek
