If you want to pump go ahead, you may develop an oversupply, your body will take 6 weeks or so to regulate how much he needs

It's normal! Your supply is still getting established. I didn't have an ”empty” feeling in my breasts for...months, ha! Keep up the good work, mama!

I had that. I never pumped for the first few weeks but I nursed all the time- she was always eating. I figured I'd follow her lead and my supply would hopefully adjust to her needs, which it did.

But I wasn't going back to work or worrying about a big stash. If you are you could pump and freeze, but really this early I only would if you are really uncomfortable.

And side note, seeing you post about bfing since your Lo is finally here just made me really happy.

Definitely normal - I felt super "full" and uncomfortable for about a week and a half after my milk came in. My LO is a month old and I just recently started to actually feel a bit more normal after he eats.

If you're uncomfortable you can pump a little to relieve the discomfort, but as others have said it could lead to an oversupply so I'd be careful with it!
