Bfing moms, I have a question or 100
This is my first day back to work. Do you pump a certain time or until empty? At home I did until empty, but that was like 20 mins. I'm on 30 here and still going.
(more questions may follow!)

Re: Bfing moms, I have a question or 100
@willyh19 - I don't feel full, just can hear some coming out. I just stopped at 30 mins. I know my boobs overachieve in the morning, so hopefully this last session doesn't take as long (but she has enough milk for tomorrow).
I've been on here, fb, and watching the videos I've taken of her. Mom has been sending me some all day too. She seems to be doing good for them. Tomorrow I'll remember my nook to read!
@mana8503 I pump until empty, usually between 10 and 15 minutes. I had a huge supply dip when I went back that hasn't really recovered. I am not relaxed at work when I pump no matter how hard I try. I go on her or Facebook while pumping to distract myself, but I always feel like I'm rushing and watching the clock to be on time.
Thanks for the laughs all! I needed it
I learned a lesson yesterday I need 6 bottles since I pump into those and shouldn't mix warm with cold milk. I had bags to pour the 11 am milk into.
Random - does one boob for better than the other? My left is a champ and almost doubles the right.
Haha when I was home I just thought she wasn't getting as much out of the left but now I just think it's an over achiever. Glad I'm not alone.
I know it'll worth it, just something to get used to.
@mpjf1001 thanks! I hope it gets better. I don't want to switch to formula. I keep trying to stick to a better schedule, but it's hard. I may need to start supplementing to make sure O has enough to eat. I want to go until February, but I'm not sure that will happen.
