Hi-
My baby was born tongue tied and it was not fixed for 2 weeks. Because of this, she never latched on properly, so I have been pumping and bottle feeding for all of her 6 weeks. My question is how many times per day should I be pumping in order to not mess up my supply? Right now I pump 5 times per day, going the longest between at night (6ish hours). I would like to pump less because it is so time consuming (between pumping for 20min, and having to wash all of the parts on top of feeding the baby.....). Right now I am averaging 50oz/day.
Thanks!
Kim
