If you're really serious and interested to educate yourself about proper exclusive breastfeeding, I encourage you to join the FB group "Breastfeeding Pinays". In the meantime, some pointers on pumping:
1) 1.0 - 1.5 oz per hour lang ang need na bm for consumption ni baby, then direct latch na kapag magkasama na ulit kayo.
2) No need for a huge stash, focus on storing enough bm for 2-3 days lang muna. For now, normal lang yung 1oz or less ang mapump nyo per session since naka-unlilatch pa sa inyo si baby. Then once back to work, mas marami na kayo mapu-pump sa office. Yung napump nyo for the day, for consumption na rin ni baby for the next day kaya hindi rin talaga magagalaw yung frozen bm stocks nyo.
3) While you're away, Cupfeeding is recommended para hindi ma-nipple confuse si baby. This needs lots of patience para sa maiiwang caregiver ni baby, pero sa simula lang naman.
4) Kapag nag-6 months na si baby at eating solids na, medyo mababasawan na rin ang need nya for bm. Specially kapag 1yo na sya na eating more solids.
And also, may sizes rin po ang mga flanges ng mga breastpump, so make sure to check their size guide para sure na fit sa inyo ☺️
