Hi
I'm 35 weeks and hoping to breastfeed. I've done 2 online courses so feeling fairly clued up but could use some advice from those who have been there.
I'd like to breastfeed but also introduce pumped bottles asap so that my DH can assist with feeds and I can build up a stash of milk so I dont need to be tied to baby 24/7.
I know that you are meant to offer each breast at each feed, and start on a different side each time. But how does this work with pumping?
I have a hakaa pump I want to use asap and will probably also get an electric pump when I've established my supply. How would this work as part of a feeding routine ie can I hakaa / pump on the other side if baby is feeding and still offer them the other breast?
And what sort of pumping schedule should I be working towards?
