another pumping question

should I go back to exclusively bf on the weekends? I hope I can. Does it make sense to create an extra feed during the week by pumping an extra session say at night and then dropping it on the weekends so that it is there is more for when baby is with you all day? dd is getting about 5 oz of formula at the nursery in addition to what I can pump the day before at work. Last week it was roughly 9oz. each day.

you're doing really well alux, i can just remember about the pumping scenario and ds is only 18 months(and still breast fed)
i did exclusively feed when with ds and sometimes did an extra pump(but more often didn't have the time), just go with what you're happy and comfy with xx

i think I got so much because it was the first week and was pretty engorged by the time I had a long enough break to pump.

Alux, my approach on my days off is to bf for all feeds. I find my supply is much better then when I am pumping at work. Baby always seems to get enough somehow!

Oh and pumping an extra session is good for supply but don't exhaust yourself!
