Worried

Ok here is my short story. I have a DS. He is 2 months old. Champ at breastfeeding. I started school 2 weeks ago and have been pumping for the next day. I am at school for about 8 hours give or take a few on some days. I start work on Friday and work 12 hour shifts...I will start pumping 3 times during a shift.

  I feed DS right before I leave for school and then again when I get out of school. He takes 3 bottles during the day sometimes 2. I'm afraid that when I go back to work that he will need more than that and that he will use my small stash....I guess I don't have any questions just more venting than anything. I really don't want to have to start using formula just yet..... Tongue Tied

    That sucks. I feel your pain and frustration. But remember, no matter what, your baby will be loved and cared for. That is more important than anything. Good luck!

    Could you add a pump after he goes to bed or pump one side while feeding the other first thing in the morning to get a buffer?
    I pumped last night before bed and got about 3 oz. I guess I will just have to try and increae milk supply and pump more often!!! Thank you!
