Do you pump before feeding, or after, and how long before or after are you pumping compared to when you are BF LO. Thanks.

    I don't do it anymore, but I used to nurse first, then pump.  I didn't wait long to pump, just long enough to change DD's diaper, and get her settled so I could pump in peace.

    I have DD feed on one side and I pump the other side at the same time. She gets about 4 ounces from one side and that's all she'll normally take first thing in the morning. The 4 ounces I pumped from the other side, she gets in a bottle from the DCP.

    On the weekends, she'll nurse on the one side like normal and then an hour or so later she'll nurse again on the other side.

    I also pump one side while DS nurses on the other, that way he triggers my letdowns and it doesn't take 2x as long.

    I usually BF and and then pump about 10-15 minutes later.  I can still get at least 8 oz. when I pump doing it this way.

    i would nurse and then pump, until my supply was good. Then i continued like this for quite  a while (couple months)

    Recently i've switched to pumping then nursing (with 30-45min in the middle) b/c DS is sleeping longer now and i know i have enough milk. I pump to get what i need for cereal, then stop so i'm not empty if DS wakes up a little earlier.

    I always nurse first.  DD goes down for a nap about an hour after waking up in the morning, and it tends to be a three hour nap, so I pump after she goes down (about an hour after feeding her).  I try to wait about half an hour after feeding her to pump, or it seems like it's mostly a waste of time for me.

    I pump first, and DD nurses about 1-2 hours later, no complaints from the customer yet.
