The second is really close to your lunch and pretty distant from the pump session prior. 8:30 is right in the middle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-prefer-1#post-2129904 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 21:23:11 +0000 danda 2129904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd skip the 6:30 am pump and pump at 8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-prefer-1#post-2129859 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:13:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2129859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How confident are you will pump on the way to work? </p> <p>Because if you skipped that, then it would make sense to go from 5:30-8:30 and then 8:30-11:30. </p> <p>But if you are for sure doing the 6:30 pump right after a 5:30 feed I might be inclined to do the later pump to give yourself a bit of time to replenish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-prefer-1#post-2129855 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:10:48 +0000 Mrs. J 2129855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the second prep slot is too close to lunch. Hopefully, your supply will be better and you won't have to pump as much! I got away with nursing before school, and pumping during my prep and lunch. I would then make sure I could nurse right at 4 and the rest of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-prefer-1#post-2129851 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:08:17 +0000 Jone0603 2129851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first LO I ended up exclusively pumping because of poor supply combine with a very fussy eater that never got into the BFing. Now with this second one on the way I am trying to figure out the best pumping schedule when I go back to work after 10 wks. I really want/hope my supply to be better this time around. </p> <p>I work in a school and we are finalizing next years schedule now, so I want to make sure I have a workable routine. </p> <p>Here is my plan:</p> <p>BF in the morning 5:30ish<br /> Pump on the way to school at 6:30<br /> Have my prep either from 8:30-9:30 or 9:30-10:30 and pump then<br /> Pump at Lunch around 11:40<br /> Pump after school at 2:15<br /> Then hopefully BF the rest of the night.</p> <p>If you had a choice given that schedule which prep period would you want? (I can put in a request, but there are no guarantees) </p>
