Pumping for return to work question

I dont go back to work for a while but I'm curious to know how you start your supply...

When did you start pumping for return to work?

How did you start? Do you skip a feeding? Or just begin after a feeding?

TIA!

    I just wrote a whole blog post that answers most of your questions.  Your little one is too cute:)

    I didn't really have a stash of food when I went back to work...I think maybe 2 bags.  What I pump I then put in bottles the next day.  So my freezer stash is really for extras...weekends out or something.  I did start pumping after the last feeding at night though the week before I went back but ended up stopping doing that later...

    You don't really need a supply.  I pump and give LO what I pump the following day.  So on Tuesday, LO eats what I pumped Monday.  On Monday, LO eats what I pumped Friday.
