Breastfeeding
Hi mummies! If I am latching baby on demand throughout the day, how often do I need to pump to maintain my supply? Isit necessary to pump after every feed or is latching sufficient? Please advice. TIA ?

If you continue to latch, you will likely have enough supply to feed your baby, because your body will respond according to how much your baby needs. However, if you want to build up a store of milk, then you need to produce excess milk, beyond the current needs of your child, so that you can keep that for future use. In that case, it’s better to pump on top of latching. For example, you can pump 1 hr after latching, so that you get some milk to store, and some time to refill before your baby’s next feed. This timing is just a suggestion:)
