I would think an oversupply would be a good thing, too! Especially if the goal is more milk to freeze </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-2#post-600617 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:00:29 +0000 kml636 600617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CONGRATS!!!! I started at maybe around 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-2#post-600611 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:59:10 +0000 purrpletulips 600611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started pumping 3 days after DS' arrival because my milk wasn't in yet and the LC I met with suggested pumping to try and help it out; it still took 10 days which is odd since DS was my second child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-2#post-600527 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:43:30 +0000 autumnlove 600527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the hospital on day 2. I started pumping at home the day my milk came in on day 9 PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-2#post-600520 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:42:35 +0000 hilsy85 600520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to wait until 4-6wks til breastfeeding was established, and to prevent creating an oversupply. However, if you need to build a stash, then an oversupply might not be so terrible? At least for a while? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-2#post-600509 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:41:00 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 600509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My milk just came in yesterday, and breastfeeding is going well... but I want to start pumping soon too in order to stock up for when I have to go back to work.</p> <p>When did you start pumping? </p>
