when to pump/introduce bottle

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am going to be returning to work very early with this little one (take her with me to meetings by 4 weeks, and leave her with DW by 6-8 weeks), and am a bit frantic about quickly building up a stash. I'm just curious about when is the best time to pump, given that there is no schedule to DD's eating right now. Yesterday I pumped, and as soon as I was done, she was ready to eat. We then spent about 2 hours of her sucking and being super frustrated that she wasn't really getting much of anything.

Also, what are your opinions about when to introduce the bottle/how often you need to continue giving a bottle to make sure it "sticks"?

Ok, let me ask this a different way-- when do you pump in order to build a stash without depriving your LO of milk she needs? (or might need in the next hour)
