I tried 3 times, but it's way too time consuming and i basically got the same amount doing it 2 x vs. 3x. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-492886 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:27:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 492886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked, I pumped twice at the office (once early in the AM, like around 830AM) and once later in the afternoon around 3PM. I nursed LO once around lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491954 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:28:40 +0000 Mrsbells 491954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump twice a day, once in the morning before I leave home and once in the evening when I get back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491946 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:27:37 +0000 yellowbird 491946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3X and get around 20-22 ounces and my LO takes all of it at daycare!

The only way I can pump twice a day at work is to block off time on my calendar to pump so the work craziness doesn't prevent me from pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491743 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:24:12 +0000 purrpletulips 491743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3x a day but have my own office so I can work while pumping (like I should be doing right now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491739 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:23:50 +0000 mrsjazz 491739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would prefer to pump 3x a day at work but the majority of the time I pump 2x a day for an amount between 9-15 oz. My supply goes up and down and I just adjust and add a session before bed if I didn't pump enough (or break into the frozen stash).</p> <p>ETA: I've been pumping at work for 6 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491735 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:22:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 491735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 . . . and every once in a while 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491731 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:22:00 +0000 autumnlove 491731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped 2-3 times at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491730 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:21:09 +0000 mediagirl 491730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3x/day. Some days I get so busy I don't have time for the third pump but, I'll pump after she goes to bed to make up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491704 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:15:03 +0000 littlek 491704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to pump 3 times a day at work, but that was too time consuming, so I went to 2 sessions. LO is now 7 months and I'm dropping to 1 session because I want to start weaning soon. LO was a NICU baby so I"ve pumped since day 1, and I'm sooo tired of pumping. When he was in NICU I pumped about 6 - 8 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-wohms-how-many-times-do-you-pump-a-day#post-491696 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:11:59 +0000 Kachang 491696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 3 months old and I went back to work last week. I intended to pump three times per day - once in the morning, at lunchtime and once in the afternoon. Because of my crazy work day, I've only been pumping once in the morning and once in the afternoon. So far, I've been keeping up with my LO's intake. I make about 15-16 ounces in two pumping sessions and I send her to daycare with four 4-oz. bottles. </p> <p>Were you able to get away with pumping less often during your work day? I am away from my LO for about 11 hours during the day. I want to try to make it to one year of breastfeeding. And I have a pretty big stash right now (at least 100 ounces or so), so if she eats more one day than I pump, it's no big deal. </p>
