I was exhausted but my supply was low and it needed the extra stimulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351522 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:49:31 +0000 LAGS 351522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning she used to only nurse from one breast, so when I had time, I would just pump the other right after feeding.</p> <p>Now that she takes both I usually try to before I go to bed. At that point she's down and it's been a few hours since I last nursed and (with any luck) will be another few before I nurse her again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351508 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:37:20 +0000 skipra 351508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do it on an as needed basis so far. I'm also struggling with finding the time and motivation. So far I mostly do it when I'm feeling engorged or I know I might have to leave DS for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351452 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:22:41 +0000 yellowbird 351452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump on the middle of the night after she feeds. She is the most sound asleep at this time and I have the most milk then too. I usually do one around 3am, and then one around 6 or 7am. I pump both sides even though she's eaten from one side. I still usually get 2-3 oz from that side.</p> <p>I think of you consistently pump from both around this time you will produce more milk because I started only getting 2-3 oz total and now I get at least 6 if not more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351441 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:14:57 +0000 cvbee 351441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a little while I was doing a pump in the middle of the night immediately after nightfeeding from one breast, I'd pump the other: not exactly convenient, but very productive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351440 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:08:50 +0000 Springtime 351440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always did at night after he went to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-pump-if-youre-also-bfing#post-351413 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 07:21:18 +0000 matador84 351413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so hard for me! I usually pump around 7am after I've fed him and put him back I his crib. I try to at night too but I hardly put anything out. </p>
