My ds is 3 months old and I've been back at nursing school part time since he was 5 weeks old (this was a really hard decision, but it's working out for us). Until a couple of weeks ago I was just going to class one day a week, but now I have started clinicals which means I'm at various hospitals and clinics 2-3 days a week.
I am bfing and pumping while I'm away from him so he has bottles for the next time. However, while ds nurses every 2-3 hours, I sometimes don't pump for a 5-6 hour stretch, depending on what's going on. Is that okay? Am I messing up my supply? When I do that, I can pump 12+ oz in one go (he only takes 3-4oz each time he takes a bottle). We're also using bfing as a contraceptive, am I messing that up by not pumping more often? Anyone know anything about fore- and hind-milk and pumping?
Sorry for all the questions! I'm new to posting here, although I've been reading answers here for a while - often to questions I hadn't thought to ask yet, so thanks!
