Finding time to pump

in June 2013 Moms

I'm trying to build up a freezer stash, but LO is literally always on the boob. I've read things that say to pump 1 hour after nursing. Rarely can I go an hour in between nursing sessions. Any thoughts on how to make this work?

FWIW,sometimes I think he's just comfort sucking, but I can't get him to take a paci. I've tried several different kinds to little avail.

    AT this youg of age, it's sort of an exercise in futility, as baby is always at the breast as they should be, esp if going thru a growth spurt common at 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 mos, but can happen every 2 weeks.
    You can try nursing primarily on one side per feeding and then immediately after nursing pump the unused side. Realize it will get easier with more time between feeds after about the 6 week growth spurt, so there is probably time, don't drive yourself nuts.


    This. Right after feeding i pump whatever is left.

    I'm trying to build up my supply so my LC has me pumping after every BF session. I don't get much as DD takes most of it but by the end of the day I normally have 22.5 oz. You could try that approach but its very time consuming and get be hard when DD gets fussy after eating sometimes.

    I don't have any advice, just wanted to say story of my life! I don't know how I'm going to have enough for when I go back to work. Even if he's not eating, he cries if he's not being held which makes it a little hard to pump! I have to wait till DH gets home and can take him. Even then he's usually wailing to eat again by the time I get everything set up. And one pumping session a day isn't really getting me too far.
    I feel your pain!

    22.5 oz Jeesh! I'm good if I can get 6oz a day! I'm starting to pump whenever I can! Envy! envy! Envy! One boob is barely producing I think putting my son through work outs instead! I try to pump that side but its starting to hurt internally so....

    Seriously. 22.5 is a LOT to pump in addition to BFing. I only pump once a day but I'm lucky to get 3 oz and that's in place of a feeding, not in addition to.

    i'm guessing from context that she was on mobile and the dash was omitted (2-2.5, not 22.5).

    At any rate, thanks for your help. I know this shall pass, but I have a couple of things that I need to be away from LO soon, and I want to make sure I have enough stocked up for him. Today he's been cluster feeding since we got up, so it's been exhausting, but he's let up some this evening, so hopefully I'll be able to get so re pumping in tonight
