How soon can I start pumping

Question

Its been 3 days, is it too soon to start pumping? I have plenty of milk so I was hoping I could pump after I nurse her, since my b*****s are still full & swore after she is done eating.

Answer 1

i assume this could be done right away, but just check with your doc

Answer 2

My little girl was in the NICU for a week and they told me to pump at night 2 days after she was born and bring it in to them so they could feed her with it at night. So I'm pretty sure you can pump now.

Answer 3

I started pumping as soon as my milk came in, it is great for helping to make sure you have a good milk supply.  Both my doctor and lactation consultant said that pumping right away was fine.  Good luck!

Answer 4

I had to pump right away because my baby would not latch on. I fed him the colustrum.
