My Little man is almost 2 weeks old and EBF. I want to start pumping so that I can build up a supply in my freezer for when I go out or so OH can feed him some nights and let me sleep. So he will not be getting a bottle very often.
I had some major problems caused by pumping and lack of information about it with my daughter. I was pumping after every feed for about 2 months with her and ended up with too much milk, and a strong let down that would choke her. I dont want that to happen again so im very nervous about pumping. And im not sure how to go about it. I dont think i should pump after every feeding as that will cause my milk to increase and I dont really want that to happen....i just want to save up some to freeze.
My little man eats off only one breast a feeding now and only for about 10-15 minutes. I was thinking of either pumping the opposite breast for the 10-15 minutes a few times a day or maybe even only once a day. I read a few posts on here that said to pump first thing in the morning as that seems to be the best time to get lots of milk.
What do lyou ladies think>? Once in the morning or a few times (2-3) a day? I dont want to end up with too much milk.
