Exclusively pumping
My supply is good. I have enough to feed my daughter and able to bag a few oz through the week. Trying to find out how often I should pump to continue making enough. I don’t want to oversupply just to produce enough to feed my daughter and perhaps bag bit for when I go back to work. Currently pumping around 8-10 times a day..

pumping more throughout the day, did that help build your supply??
With my first I started by going an hour longer between sessions, then dropping the middle of the night sessions when baby started sleeping through the night. My breasts would be really engorged every morning but Id pump up to 5 oz from one side in the morning 😳

It really depends on the person! I was recommended to pump 6-8 times a day or whenever my baby is hungry, but I started seeing my supply jumping higher and higher everyday. I am already an over supplier, so I did not want to make that worse. After some trial and error, I’ve discovered that pumping 5 times a day works for me, it helps me keep my supply steady. I don’t notice a huge dip or increase from day to day. Just play around with it a bit, and see what works for your body!
