[quote=Anonymous]Stay hydrated. Rest when you can. But pumping every 2-3 hours with one 4 hour stretch overnight is really it. Once you transition to milk from colostrum see how your early supply is. Some people start pumping ounces and ounces at 3-5 days others are still pumping nothing or just a few mls. Both are okay. It will just give you an idea of how strict you need to be But while you're establishing supply the more times you remove milk the better. More frequent removals over length of pump so if you can only pump 10-15 min go for it. Utilize a wall plug in - like Spectra for most pumps but consider a portable or manual for when you're at the hospital or if you can use a symphony when there that's great! I'd always keep a Medela hand pump in the car . [/quote]
