I pumped a little after that if I was feeling too engorged on either side. I froze most of that early milk, LO didn't have a bottle until three weeks. </p> littlecasita1122 on "When did you start pumping breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-breast-milk#post-300689 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 06:42:26 +0000 littlecasita1122 300689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started during week 2, even though everywhere I read said to wait until week 4. My son never had a problem going back and forth between bottle and breast, though. </p> tequiero21 on "When did you start pumping breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-breast-milk#post-300661 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 04:08:40 +0000 tequiero21 300661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i started pumping at the hospital. like day 2! not that anything really came out. </p> Beyond2 on "When did you start pumping breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-pumping-breast-milk#post-300657 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 03:57:43 +0000 Beyond2 300657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My newborn HATES my right side. He arches his back and screams when I try to nurse him there. I was considering that maybe I should try pumping a bit to see if that would help. Not sure if it is too soon though. </p>
