The advice I got was to pump an hour or so after DS eats. I found that I had much more milk in the morning, between 6am and 2pm, so I focused on pumping between those feedings. I would start with just picking one feeding and then pumping an hour after DS started nursing.

I pumped into bottles, then transferred to Lansinoh bags (they are the best!). If I was planning to freeze the milk, I put it in the freezer right away, or within 12 hours if I wasn't sure if I was going to freeze it. I copied a chart from Kellymom.com on breastmilk storage for you, so you know how long milk stays good in each place (from here - http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/ )

Storage guidelines
HUMAN MILK STORAGE – QUICK REFERENCE CARD
Temperature Storage Time
Freshly expressed milk
Warm room 73-77°F / 23-25°C 4 hours
Room temperature 66-72°F / 19-22°C 6-10 hours
Insulated cooler / icepacks 59°F / 15°C 24 hours

Refrigerated Milk (Store at back, away from door)
Refrigerator (fresh milk) 32-39°F / 0-4°C 8 days (ideal: 72 hrs)
Refrigerator (thawed milk) 32-39°F / 0-4°C 24 hours

Frozen Milk (Do not refreeze! Store at back, away from door/sides)
Self-contained freezer unit
of a refrigerator/freezer
Varies: 0°F / -18°C 3-4 months
Separate deep freeze 0°F / -18°C 12 months (ideal: 6 months)

Because I went back to work full time, and DS was a good eater, I froze milk in larger quantities. The Lansinoh bags say they hold 6 oz, but I could fit 10 in easily if I laid them on their sides. You probably won't need to freeze that much in each bag, so I'd say you should freeze in whatever quantity DS typically eats. If he will usually eat 3oz per feeding, then I'd freeze 3oz per bag.

I'm commenting so I remember this! this is my plan.
