Lozza on "Breastfeeding and Working Outside the Home"

I went back to work at 9 weeks, and I think the best thing that I did was to start pumping from Day 1 to really get my supply up (and bonus- I had an awesome freezer stash). My lactation consultant wanted me to pump 45 minutes per day during those first few weeks when I was also EBF (except for 1 bottle per day, also per my LC's recommendation). I'd pump either after breastfeeding, or I'd pump one side while feeding on the other, or I'd pump a little to get things going and then feed.
What that meant- at least for me- is that when I was pumping at work I could get a lot of milk really quickly. I think when I went back to work I could get 8 oz total in about 5 minutes, so my pumping breaks were super productive. I tried to pump every 2.5 or 3 hours, but it was sometimes closer to 3 or 4.
