  Timing should always be from the start of one session I the start of the next session.  Every three hours would look like: pump from 3-3:30, 6-6:30, 9-9:30, etc. best wishes!

  newborns tend to eat more like every 2 hours usually so you may want to pump every two to keep your supply up while she is in the hospital.

  Hi everyone, breastfeeding newbie here and totally overwhelmed by everything!

  I'm pumping for my premature daughter in the NICU and am trying to establish a good schedual for myself. Do you pump/feed every three hours (3,6,9 etc) like clock work or 3 hours from the end of the pump session/feeding? For example, I started pumping at 2:30 and ended at 3:00. Do I start again at 5:30 or 6? What do you do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Congrats on your daughter! I also pumped for my preemie in the nicu. The lactation consultant at the hospital suggested I get a 5 hour stretch of sleep at night and ten pump every 2-3 hours during the day to get 8-10 pumping sessions per day. The extra sleep will do you good
