Breastfeeding and Pumping

Hi Mummies! Could someone share how is a typical breastfeeding and pumping schedule like? Am almost due soon but am a little confused with breastfeeding and pumping. If we only feed baby on one side, do we pump both side or only one side after? Is it necessary to pump after every feed? If we pump exclusively, does it mean tt we pump out milk first and feed baby after? TIA!

for me I stick 3 hourly pump schedule regardless of whether baby has latched. some babies do not clear breast completely so need to pump and clear if not you may risk getting inflamed or supply dipped.
