(Mostly) exclusive pumping - Need some advice or BTDT

I set up one time a day when I pumped and froze what I got. After about a month my freezer was full and ready for any time I'm away from LO. Very useful to have.
I would recommend you invest in a bottle that doesn't just let the milk flow without LO sucking. Medela Calma or - if I'm not mistaken  -  Dr Browns. We had some issues with going between breast and bottle and changing to the Calma helped a lot.

I've liked the first years breast flow bottles

Thanks again, everyone. I will definitely look into support groups and the lactation consultant.  I did take a class before DS was born, but another one couldn't hurt since that was 3 years ago! 

We used Dr. Browns with DS -- he had issues with reflux, gas, etc etc that I never really knew if the bottle was contributing to the problem or not. I think it was not, but it couldn't hurt to try a few different kinds when I do pump.

It has to be the breastflow bottle though, not the  regular Dr Browns

Oh! I didn't know that -- thanks!!!
