I hope this isn't a stupid question... I just can't seem to figure out exactly when the best time to pump is. Especially since I have both a toddler and an 11 week old to juggle! (Literally, sometimes).
I generally can't pump *right* after she feeds. It just never works for one reason or another. I can usually pump when she goes down for her first nap but this can sometimes be as close to an hour before she's going to be ready to eat again. This morning she got up at 7:30 and ate. I put her down for her nap just before 9 and pumped about 9:15 or so. I got about 3 oz in 15 minutes. She should be ready to eat again around 10:30, so did I take those 3 oz away from her next feed?
We only JUST started having some success getting her to take a bottle (yeah!) so I am trying to build up a little supply. Is two or three times a day too often to pump? I just don't want to steal her food!
