how often shoud i pump in hospital?
I am so scared of my milk drying up! I will be going into hospital at 7am friday morning and the operation is that afternoon.
I am just wandering how often i should be pumping in hospital whilst baby isnt with me? And what if i cant get much milk out? Or do you think i should be able to get more out as my breasts will be fuller if baby not feeding?
I am so worried i wont be feeling very well and ill be hard for me to pump.
And say if i havent pumped enough to keep my supply normal - will bethany soon make up for that when she is with me and get my supply normal again?
So many questions lol

Hi, i'm not expert but i express alot......lol
I would say if you express when Bethany would normally feed for almost every feed time. I would think you will be ok. As long as you empty your breast each time you will be fine.
I just found this -

Its more for younger babies but it should give you a general idea.
If your supply doesn't keep up i'm sure Bethany will get it back up for you.
Big hugs from all of us :bighug:
Don't worry
