To have a good breast pumping experience, you need to create a routine and have a good time schedule to continue to maintain a good breast milk supply. Just as you need to breastfeed your baby on a schedule initially you also will need to breast pump on a schedule.
In the beginning, when you are trying to establish a good breast milk supply, you will need to breast pump every 2-3 hours. Once you establish a good supply, and a keeping up with your baby’s feeding demands, then you will be able to spread you breast pumping sessions further apart.
You will need to find a good routine to fit into your schedule, but you should try to stick with the same times (more or less) each day. A good idea is to find equal intervals each time each day to help maintain your breast milk supply.
Such as:
- 6am
- 3pm
- Midnight
What kind schedule or you on and how quickly were you able to maintain this schedule and keep your breast milk supply up?
My name is Wendy, and I began this website as a place to have one central location for breast pumping and feeding babies. I pumped breast milk for my daughter for over a year and during that year looked around on hundreds of websites to get the information that I needed. Since then, the website has grown and there is now tons of information and great products here at GotBreastPump.com. Thanks for stopping by.
