How often do you guys pump ?

I usually pump after feeding so there’s plenty of time for my breasts to “fill up” before her next feed. I find pumping in the morning is much better. I don’t pump in the evening as she tends to feed more regularly

I also do a pump first thing in the morning like 6am as my LO never takes much then so I pump to relieve and then use it for top ups if required in the day or add to my stash x

I pump every 3 to 4 hours but I don't do a lot of direct breast. If she had direct breast I wait 30 minutes and pump after
