So I'm going back to work at the end of October, and at that point I have to be pumping enough/have enough of a stash so that DH can feed her during the day.

I am almost 7 days postpartum. Milk has definitely come in; boobs haven't gotten hard yet, but they're bigger (sigh). I have played with the pump now four times, and have gone from getting barely a dribble at the bottom of the bottles to getting roughly 3oz from both boobs, which I feel very accomplished about even though I'm sure that's nothing lol.

When LO feeds she usually does one breast for 7-15 minutes, and then sometimes the other one for 5 minutes before falling asleep. I switch up which one I start with the next time she feeds. Is she getting enough of fore and hind milk this way? Her poops are definitely yellow/seedy. Am I stimulating enough milk production this way?

Should I be using the pump more often? Will this signal my body to overproduce ? One lactation consultant who saw me said that it would make my body think I had twins and I'd have an oversupply. Not sure why this is a bad thing.

I'm so confused by what is the right and wrong way to do this, and I don't want to screw it up and end up with no supply when I go back to work!

Thanks bees!
