Hi moms! Im a first time mom and pretty lost when it comes to pumping my breast milk. My son just turned a month old and I was strictly breastfeeding up til now. I am going back to work in a month or so I'd like to get him accustomed now to a bottle and other people feeding him when we aren't together.. How often should I pump, and about how much should I pump each time? Im planning on freezing my milk in bulk for my relatives to use when I'm back to work

    I think the general rule is that you should pump as often as he's eating...so if he's eating every 2-3 hours, you should pump that often. Not sure how much you'll get each time though - again, depends on what he's eating. Good luck!
