If you're having issues with the pump then you should def try to get a different one! Or even consider renting a hospital grade pump. They are usualy around $70/mo though. I heard that BabiesR US is renting them now.</p> <p>To help with pumping: do breast massage/compression while you pump. Look at pictures or videos of your baby. (I actually took a video of my LO nursing and would watch it while pumping at work and that helped me a lot), Take deep breaths and try to relax the best you can. If you're tense your milk will have a harder time letting down. If you have a medela pump and it has the let down (button with the little drops) button then use it!</p> <p>Warth helps too, so if you ever pump at home but a warm pack on your breast for 10 mins before you pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1969158 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 12:54:24 +0000 jape14 1969158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'm on basically the same schedule as you, including the 6:30ish am nurse before I leave. Today is only my third day, but so far, not bad. I'm also hoping I'll get better output once I get used to the pump. I barely pumped at all on maternity leave (maybe 4 or 5 times) so I'm very much still learning the ropes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1969150 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 12:50:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1969150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: nice! Hopefully in time my boobs get used to the pump more and I can get more per session. That way I can cut out the lunch session! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1969143 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 12:48:34 +0000 matador84 1969143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have time to pump twice so usually around 10 unless I'm bursting and 2. I get about 10 oz a day, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1969135 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 12:46:21 +0000 regberadaisy 1969135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: @Seattlemom: I ended up pretty much following catomd00's schedule. We leave the house around 7am so a 630 am nurse works best. Then I go 3 hours in between. so 930, 1230 and 330. I was able to get enough for her bottles but I could tell I wasn't emptying because I had issues with my pump. </p> <p>Hopefully in time I'll pump more and be able to freeze some! That way I'm prepared for growth spurts and when she starts taking more in a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1967081 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 09:53:50 +0000 lady grey 1967081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I would do 10, 1 and 4. Unless you want to be full for her when you get home, then 10 and 1? Unless you have a super abundant supply try not to go more then 4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1966505 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 19:34:02 +0000 catomd00 1966505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's best to pump around when she will eat. I pump 3x because dd eats 3 bottles at daycare.</p> <p>Here's my schedule: </p> <p>6:30 am nurse<br /> 715 leave for daycare<br /> 930 pump<br /> 1230 pump<br /> 330 pump<br /> 430 leave work<br /> 600 nurse<br /> 730 nurse to sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-pumping-schedule-1#post-1966471 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 19:04:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1966471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How often do you pump at work? What time do you nurse LO in the morning get to work, pump, leave work and get home to LO to nurse again? </p> <p>Trying to figure out the best pump schedule for me. The plan is to get to work by 7:30 and leave by 4:30. I'm like 10 minutes from work so hopefully I can nurse her at 7am and right when I get home. Hoping to pump 2-3x a day. Just two if I can get away with it. Hoping one of it is during lunch. </p> <p>What do you think would be the best schedule for me? </p>
