Exclusively pumping

[DJs mummy]

Not got much time but just wanted to check I'm doing this right.  I'm pumping every 3 hours but only doing one side at a time.  Which effectively means each side only gets emptied every 6 hours.  Is this ok to maintain my supply?  Hoping to get her latching back on again soon (have a breastfeeding lady coming round tomoz to help me have a go latching correctly).
Thanks

I would always pump both sides. Your milk supply is based on how often your breasts get emptied, so the longer you go or the fuller you are, it signals to your body to slow milk supply. If you have a double-sided pump, then I would do both at once, esp if you're exclusively pumping.

I agree with Kirsten.  How old is new LO now and congratulations   If you can bear it, even more frequently than every 3 hours might be useful for you right now (like every 2.5h).  Hope the lady can help
