Electric pump

If you’re building your supply, yes, you can pump frequently. But there’s also no point in making yourself burn out, especially if you’re also latching. I was taught by the LC that you can pump about 5x/day in between latching just to build up your milk storage and keep the production going. Even at 4-5h intervals of pumping, the supply can be good:) so don’t make life too hard for yourself. Breastfeeding is supposed to feel rewarding, not tiring and stressful

After latch pump if you want to have more supply. If you don't pump 3 hourly for the first 2 month you may not have enough supply when baby is older. If you're going to work you might not have spare milk. If you feel full and don't pump you will get Engorment or worse Mastitis. I tried dragging and got that worst pain of my life. Mastitis is super painful worst than giving birth.

Hi dear! For myself when I just gave birth I had quite low supply. So yes, I pumped every 2-3 hours in the first 2 months. When you pump more frequently you are telling your body to make more milk for baby. Then your supply will build up.. now my baby is 20 weeks and exclusively breastfed.. so yes, I believe pumping really works!

I needed to pump every 1 and a half hr to 2. Too much supply😭 headache 😫 wah if u were to miss ur pumping time u will feel like dying and u might have engorgement and thats even painful!!! Baby cant latch well too, milk flowing too fast keep choking. So RMB U must not be lazy.Dont skip ur pumping time!

I pumped every 3-5 hours during the first 2 months or so. If pumping coincides with feeding time, i'd just pump 15mins after latching. After my supply is established and regulated, now i latch and haakaa most of the time, and pump only when missed feeding time.

Currently i only pump a few times a day. But as i have over supply, i try to latch my baby both sides and also haakaa while nursing. I am using an electric pump, it can run on battery, but it feels stronger when it is plug in.

Hi, It really varies from individual to individual but if you reduce the frequency of pumping, the millk supply also decreases as the body gets trained accordingly

hi, I started off pumping 3hrly. but now, my baby (1m plus) I pump every 5-6h. I'll pump after I DL baby too

Depends on individual. Generally for new borns would probably need a feed between 2-4hrs.

If you skip pumping and not give direct bf. your milk supply will get lesser
