please make share your thoughts with me.  right now I'm BF and pumping and I was doing great in the beg. but now it seems like I'm only making enough milk to feed baby not any extra to stash anymore and I really want to stash some. my baby is 3 weeks old.

    I'm nost sure it's reccommended, but I did it, and it worked really well.  At one point I had a HUGE stash.  In the beginning, I pumped before DD ate.  It was helpful not only for building a stash, but I also had a strong let down and this helped soften it for DD.

    I also pump for just a minute or two before DS eats because of an overactive letdown.  Also, to build my stash, for a few feedings a day - usually the early morning ones between midnight and about 8 or 9 am, I feed DS on side and pump on the other for about 5 - 10 minutes.  I usually get about 2 - 4 oz. each time.   I've built up a pretty good stash this way in just a couple weeks.
