Adding a pump session-when?

jy725 · June 2014

Over the past few weeks I haven't pumped enough for LO's daycare bottles. I am using my freezer stash to make up the difference. I'm getting 8-9oz and I need 12oz. On a typical day I nurse her at home at 530am, 730am, I pump at work at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm and I nurse her to sleep at 7pm. She is usually down by 730/745pm. I go to bed around 930/10. During my two hours of free time before I go bed I have some wine. I don't know when to add in a pumping session. I don't want to have to give up having my wine. When should I pump?

I haven't tried that yet! I usually nurse her on both sides at night but I could try this in the morning.
Does anyone know if I would have to change anything on my pump to do this? Like remove one side of the tubing?

I have the Ameda Purely Yours. I know I don't have a plug for the port.

Definitely try to pump while LO nurses in the morning during the first feed. Or you can pump right before you go to bed. I drink wine while I pump before bed. No need to give up your wine

You could also pump WHILE you drink your wine. Won't reach the breast milk that quickly.

This. One small glass won't make a bit of difference anyway. If you're worried you can get those alcohol test strips but I can almost guarantee they will be negative after one small glass. Unless your glass looks like this
