I've been pumping after the morning feed. You won't get a ton, unless you have an oversupply, but it starts to add up. And remember that if you give her a bottle, you should also pump at that time for consistency/to keep up your supply.

Congrats! I posted a similar thread awhile back, right around the same time I got a lot of good feedback.

Short replies to your questions:
I read the manual and used the medela bottles for storage, Lasinoh bags for freezing.

I pumped 30 min after his first morning feed. It didn't impact/lower his next feed.

I did it EOD for the 1st month and every day after that. We only fed him a bottle EOD, so about half of what I pumped went into a frozen stash, which I also started to cycle through when the milk became 6-8 weeks "old" (the nutritive properties of milk change as your baby gets older, to meet their differing needs).

I started when dd was about 2 weeks old pumping during dd's first nap. I pumped into storage bags and froze them to build up a stash. We didn't give her bottles regularly, only when needed, but she never had issues with them.

It depends on why you want to pump. If it's for bottle practice, I would just pump 1-2oz in place of a feeding so you're not wasting much if she doesn't take it and so you won't be empty if she needs to nurse. If you want to build a stash, start pumping at the same time once a day (usually 1 hour after morning feeding is best). I wouldn't start to build a stash until around 6 weeks when supply has regulated personally, but I'm terrified of oversupply because I have a fast letdown and it quickly becomes a nursing nightmare. You really only need enough for day 1 at work, since you'll pump for the next day at work. I quickly built a stash this time just by pumping 2 oz and giving 1 for bottle practice because my baby was not good with the bottle!
