Hi all,

I'm a new BF mom and my newborn is 5 weeks' old. I'm glad that I was able to do 100% BF w/o giving formula to my baby as supplement so far. Even though the feeding schedule is not yet regular, I can still expect to feed my baby every 2-3 hours during daytime, and every 3-4 hours overnight. So my schedule is like:

00:00
03:30
07:30
10:00
12:30
15:30
18:30
21:30

I do direct feeding so I don't express milk on daily basis. I saw in other topics that some moms will express/pump milk on one breast while BF'ing with the other breast. I would like to try it so to stock up some spare milk as well as to increase the milk quantity. However, I have some questions and would like to see if anyone can clarify for me. :loveliness:

1. Say if I BF baby with my left breast & express milk from my right breast at 07:30, so I expect to feed bb again later at around 10:00 or so. If both breasts are cleared after feeding + pumping at 07:30 session, is there enough time to produce new milk for feeding & further pumping at 10:00?

2. If yes, I guess I should feed with my right breast & express milk from my left breast at 10:00, right?

3. If not, then when can I do feeding + pumping at the same time?

4. Or, how should the feeding + pumping schedule be like?

Looking forward to receive advices from the experienced moms. Thanks!! :)

I hv been BF for one year and got plenty of stock of frozen and chilled milk.

My experience for the first few weeks was to express the remaining milk from the breast which the BB just BF and leave the other side for BB to eat next time. This had helped to clear the milk to prevent blockage and at the same time stimulate the supply of milk. So you got some stock of milk for freezing.

By this method, you should hv plenty supply of milk and hv the swollen breast every 2-3 hours. If the breast got too swollen and BB was not yet hungry to drink, pump out some milk to avoid blockage and continue direct feeding. So you got some stock for freezing here too.

Do u hv to go to work and do you hv someone to look after the BB ? If yes, you should start this method one to two weeks before go to work.

Hi Jojolaw99,

Thanks so much for your reply and advices. I'm not working at the moment and plan to nurse bb for at least 6 months.

I've also been advised by the lactation consultant to pump out the remaining milk from the feeding breast, and those would be the "latter milk" which contains more fat & calories for bb. I do that only once or twice a day coz I want to save some time for resting (which I know is equally important to keep or increase milk quantity). However, I could only pump 20-40 ml each time so there isn't much "stock" spare in the fridge. Therefore, I want to ask the experienced moms here for the breastfeeding + pumping at the same time, to see if it's ok for me to try.

With your advices, I guess I should continue to express the remaining milk at this stage. But when do you think it's a good time for me to try out the breastfeeding+pumping option? And how the schedule will be like?

Thanks again for your help!! :D

Since the frozen will be expired in 3 months. I do not recommend you to start so early as you wl be BF for at least 6 months.

Unless you have surplus supply of milk, you cannot make any stock wor ! That means, the key is - (1) how to and (2) whether you need to increase your milk supply.

The answer to (1) are -
  • don't worry and believe in yourself
  • rest
  • increase pumping duration (at least 30 mins each time each side even it seems that there is no milk coming out)
  • drink soy milk / eat 花膠
  • continue direct BF
Then when you hv more frequent 谷奶 feel, you will pump them out naturally (coz it was really heavy). I remember that I need to pump at the following times during the first 3 months with occassionaly direct BF (cos I always go out to exercise and did not stay at home )-

  • early morning
  • lunch time
  • dinner time
  • before sleep

Hi, thanks again for sharing your experiences with me! I do have some 谷奶 feel every now but it mostly happen in the middle of the night and early mornings so I think I still have to work hard to increase my milk quantity. I will follow your advices accordingly.

I drink a glass of whole fat milk in the morning, and will prepare 花膠 soup about 3 times a week. I also drink fish soup (esp. with papaya) almost everyday. So soy milk really works on increasing milk supply too? Since my bb has G6PD deficiency, let me double check if I can drink soy milk then!!

My baby is stepping into his 6 week's of age now, so I need to prepare for his next growth spurt very soon. Wish me luck!

Hi Bear2,

Good luck to you and add oil!

By the way, if you have breast engorgement feel during the middle of the night, why don't you consider getting up and pump it out? My daughter does not need to be fed in the middle of the night but even now, I still wake up every night at 3:30am to pump, so that I will have enough for her and hopefully build up more supply (since I am working full time).

Hi KarenKKK,

Thanks for your encouragement and I will add oil!

Even though I have engorgement feel in the middle of the night, it wasn't really painful (so I guess it's not serious) and therefore I'd rather go back to bed quickly to get some more sleep rather than pumping the milk out (either from the feeding breast or the other with engorgement feel). If I pump the engorgement breast, shall I just pump about half of the milk out and leave about half in the breast for the next feeding?

Btw, you're such a "hardworking mom" (wake up at 0330 for pumping even though you don't need to feed your bb)! :lol:

Thanks! I will continue to work hard so that my baby can have breast milk.

You should pump out all you can. Because the more you pump out, your brain will think that your baby needs the milk and will stimulate more milk production. That's one of the ways in which you increase milk supply as well.

Hi,bear,

it's glad to hear that you got such ideal schedule, my baby got to have 10 times feeding daily as my baby weight 9 lbs,9oz while born, he is quite demanding for milk. Now, i'm BF mon and felt very very tired everyday, hoping that it will be better after a few weeks' time. I store around 4-5 oz milk everyday and I will pump out the milk after each feeding!
