My LO is 8 weeks old. He is currently eating every one to two hours. I need to pump so I can build up a supply for when I return to work but how do I when he's eating so much?
 
You could pump one side while he feeds on the other side first thing in the morning
 
If you pump one side while he feeds on the other, at any time during the day, you will get more bc him nursing raises prolactin and it also helps the letdown on the breast he isn't feeding on..
 
I would pump on one side when your LO feeds on the other. Your baby feeding will often stimulate a letdown in the other breast, so you may find it easier to pump the milk at this time :flower:
