Tanker Chic and Girls-? about pumping in between feedings

Hey girls,
Tanker Chic...I saw on another post that you said you had tons of breastmilk in your freezer...How did you get that good supply?  I'm scared if I pump in between feedings that I'll reduce the amount that Sofia gets when she is hungry.  I can't seem to get a back up supply stored?  How did you guys do it?

Actually, you will produce more.  The more frequently she is on your breast the more your body thinks she's needing so it produces more milk.  By pumping in between feedings you will see more and more milk each time and you will keep up your supply.  If I'm wrong someone please correct me, I'm by far an expert on it since I only pumped and breastfed my son for 2 months.  However, I did learn a lot about breastfeeding in that small amount of time.

Sorry I just now saw this.  Jacob would only bf from one breast so I would pump the other one to keep me from getting too lopsided.  Does she feed from both sides each feeding?  If not, you could pump whichever side she didn't feed from that feeding.  Another thing you can do is pump directly after feedings.  This will increase your supply.  

Good luck..
