I think I will start trying to get a pump session in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pump#post-725937 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:02:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 725937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually pump 1-2x a day. Usually right after the morning feeding. My other pump session is around 6pm when DH is home from work. I'll replace that feeding with a pump session and can usually pump more than DS needs so I'll give 2-3 oz in a bottle so DH can feed him, and freeze the remaining milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pump#post-725922 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:59:54 +0000 bunnylove08 725922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i pumped when DD was sleeping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pump#post-725891 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:52:16 +0000 Rescuemom10 725891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would around that time try to pump 2x a day after LO ate. Or I would pump the side she wasnt eating from. I wanted this for two reasons and acomplished both. </p> <p>1 Starting a freezer stash<br /> 2 trying to get my body to produce more. </p> <p>Your morning milk will be when you prob will have the most luck. Pump after your first morning feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pump#post-725226 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:24:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 725226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this was tricky for me as well! Around the same time I started to do one pump in the morning - I would do it about an hour after the first feeding, and he was eating every 2-3 hrs... I didn't get much to start, but I started doing it every day and usually 2 pumps would give me enough for one bottle.</p> <p>Morning was better as I always produced more milk then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pump#post-725165 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:08:22 +0000 ALV91711 725165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4 weeks today and I have been EBF. He eats every 2-3 hour around the clock. I'd like to pump so that DH can get involved in the feedings, but I don't know when I should be doing this. </p> <p>Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </p>
