Moms of two (or more) who pump

When do you do it? I'm really trying to fit pumping into my schedule, but am having a hard time figuring out when I can do it consistently. Mornings are just not possible as they are already crazy hectic gettin everyone up, fed, dressed, etc. What do you do?

    I'm a SAHM, but I pumped at night about an hour after my kids went to bed (around 8pm I would pump). I had a huge oversupply though - I could pump 9oz. in 10 minutes.

    when i was on leave i pumped around 6ish- and then around 12-1ish & lastly around 9ish before bed.

    i could have cut the 12-1ish pumping out- because #2 is a good nurser- but i squeezed it in for stash reasons.

    now i'm back at work & i pump one i get here (7ish) around 12:30ish & before bed (8:30)

    When DD first started STTN (around 9 weeks), she would get up at 5ish am to eat, and she would only take one side.  When she was done, I would put her back to bed and pump the other side.  

    Otherwise, I would only pump on the weekends when my DH was around to watch them while I did.  I would pump about an hour after her morning feeding (like 9am ish).  I never had a great supply, so pumping at night after they went to bed wouldn't result in much and wasn't worth the effort for me.  I never was really able to build up much of a stash, so we used to supplement her with formula (mixed 1/2 BM and 1/2 Formula bottles) when I was working.  Good luck!

    I pump first thing in the morning when I get up (DH and kids are still sleeping), at work and then before bed when the kids are in bed. But we are weaning DS to formula now so I'm down to only pumping those two sessions and not at work anymore. I hope to stop completely in a few days.
