Ok, silly question. I started back at work on monday. I pump 3 times a day at work and feed what I pump to LO the next day...so what do you do on your days off? Do you BF only like before or do you keep pumping and giving her a bottle? I feel like if I'm there I should BF her...but I don't want to confuse her
I BF DD on my days off (Thrus, Sat & Sun). I always do my first pumping session around 2 AM always, every day (and that is only 1 boob 'cause daugther takes the other one)...but thats it I dont pump for the rest of the day in my days off. However, I only pump in my days off if i get really engorged.
Daughter has no problem, I don't think she is confused. I think she enjoys every chance that she has to be BF. I can see it on her face!!!!! she loves cuddling!!!!

I put the pump in the closet for the weekends and she just BFs as needed
If, for some reason, I need to build up some extra, I'll pump (early on, to build up stash, I did an extra pump after she went to bed every night--even on weekends). If she decides to nap through feeding time (HA, that would require her to nap), I'll pump. That happened something like 3x in the last year
