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 ?

I latch on demand and only pump if I want to let baby drink from bottle (when I’m consuming alcohol). Your supply will increase if you pump after every feed because you send a signal to your body to generate more milk. So to prevent from having engorgement and mastitis I would suggest you to just latch on demand don’t have to pump. Unless you miss a feed then you pump. And breast will take roughly 30 mins to be full again.
