[quote=Anonymous]Do not pump in the beginning unless there's a reason to, you could give yourself oversupply and trust me, it's bad (I had to triple feed briefly under the guidance of a LC and I still got some oversupply and resulting mastitis). The Breastfeeding Center downtown has a pumping class and they actually warn against trying to build up big stashes as they say it can cause oversupply or over reliance on them. I actually built up a bit of a stash from the extra I got from pumping at work alone and that was enough to get through a supply dip and I still had to toss out frozen milk in the end (I wasn't able to donate). You really don't need that much (formula is also fine to get through a dip, you really don't want to risk mastitis from oversupply, trust me). Those pictures of giant stashes people share on social media create bad expectations.[/quote]
