Another Breastfeeding and Pumping Question

You are just fine. If you are pumping the oneside he is not eatting, your body is already making additional feedings. "I LOVE one-sided babies. M. has it so easy. No, this will not make you dry up. The only problem is if you are waiting 2-3 hours to feed him once you are home. Congrats!! You are a nursing dream. If everyone was like you, I would not have a job. BTW, not filling full is not an indicator of your milk supply. If baby is still satisfied after feeding from one side, your milk supply is just fine. Just be sure to get in your water while at work. Congrats again.

I would think that this would work if you are feeding right before you leave and when you get home. I pump in the morning (pump all one side, and about 2 ounces on the other), then feed on one side (the one I only pumped 2 ounces from). I then pump 4 hours later, 4 hours later, and nurse from one side when I get home. I am able to provide for my daughter, and a baby that someone in town is going to be adopting as soon as he is born.

If you aren't losing your milk (wet diapers are still happening, and he doesn't still seem hungry), then why hassle with the pump transport. I ended up buying another pump after forgetting parts too often at home. As long as you are able to know when your supply goes down, and you can get it back up, I think you are having an easier time with it than M..

Your body goes with the amount needed typically. You could bring a hand pump to work and leave it at work just to make extra milk for later. How old is your son? As they get older they demand more milk so I always have a time where I can pump and store for nights out etc. otherwise i'm on demand but Im also a sahm so it may help to get more info from a working mom:) Otherwise call your local la leche...
