First time expressing help

[WeShouldOpenABar]

Ds is a week old and I was hoping you begin expressing today but no idea where to start.
Supply is good and I think we're well established in our routine. My right nipple could do with a break as I had a poor latch on that side which I think is resolved but the initial latch is still painful and I am hoping it just needs some time off to heal.

Do I just pump that side in between feeds and only offer the 'good' side to ds? Should I pump and feed him simultaneously? If I pump both breasts in between feeds will there be anything left for him?
Am hoping to have enough pumped by tomorrow to let his dad feed him while I take a few hours off, how much would I need for one feed approx??

So many questions thanks in advance

Hello WeShoukd and congratulations on your new LO

I’m not trained and as your baby is still so little, I think it’s probably best that you speak to someone who is, like a BFC. Have you got the Helpline numbers or are you in touch with a local Breastfeeding Counsellor?

Thanks everyonetalk but I'm not in the UK and the local group seems to have shut down for Christmas or is at least not responding at the moment.

Oh dear. Give me a min and i’ll have a look for you.

You might be able to find some support near you here.

I pumped after feeding (from the opposite breast) but you'll probably get more if you do it whilst feeding (if you have enough hands). Just beware that pumping this early can lead to over supply and possibly mastitis.

How did it go OP? I pumped from early on and still managed to keep bfing long term. Just take it slowly. 1-2 oz a day and build up a small supply.
