2022/23 Schedules

Month one pumping schedule

Month one pumping schedule details

month 1️⃣ combo feeding schedule

adequate milk removal is top priority.

if baby isn’t removing milk regularly it’s even more important to remove milk by pump. regular and consistent removal in these early weeks can be essential to long term production.

also notice her 5 hour stretches between feedings. this is another reason of why the pump was necessary for my supply. I would pump while she slept and bottle feed when she woke.

I was pumping 6-7x a day & nursing approx 2x a day. The nursing sessions weren’t always true feedings, more for practice or a snack

I was pumping 5-6x day & nursing approx 4x a day. Nora’s nursing skills are quickly advancing, she often roots for the boob for snack time.

Month three pumping schedule

month 3️⃣ combo feeding schedule

adequate milk removal is top priority.

if baby isn’t removing milk regularly it’s even more important to remove milk by pump. regular and consistent removal in the early weeks can be essential to long term production.

I know from past experiences 5 pumps per day (5ppd) is my sweet spot for maintaining supply. So I generally try to stay around here. I do offer full nursing feeds before we start the day, I’m finding her “full feed” is about 3.5ounces. I know this because I’ll pump after that feeding and I don’t have much of a slacker boob- so when compared post session 3.5 ounces are typically missing from the nursed breast. We still snack before most naps.

✨You may notice this schedule is the exact same as my 3rd month scheldule! That’s because from month 3 I have continued to maintain this schedule while also successfully maintaining my supply!
