Advice going from breastfeeding to pumping

[Bagpuss91]

Im thinking of going to exclusively pumping after 3 months just do i have a little more freedom. Does anyone have any advice to achieve this? Like should i make a stash? He's currently 3 weeks.

It won't really be a whole lot more freedom, as you'll have to be able to pump at regular intervals, so will have to find somewhere to do that wherever you are, a socket if using an electric one, etc. If you're at 3 months breastfeeding the easiest thing to do will be to keep breastfeeding, as your supply will be established and you'll both have 3 months experience at breastfeeding, rather than having to maintain a pumping supply which can be difficult as a pump isn't as efficient at removing milk as a baby is.

If you decide to do it yes you will need a stash to keep ahead, otherwise you'd be trying to fit in pumping for a feed before you need to go somewhere each and every time which would be stressful and could be difficult.
