How often should I pump if I am away from my baby?

If you’re away from your baby and wish to maintain your milk supply, consider the following pumping guidelines:

1. Frequency: Aim to pump every 2-3 hours, mirroring your baby’s feeding schedule. This helps maintain your milk supply.
2. Duration: Pump for about 15-20 minutes, or until your breast feels empty.
3. Use Quality Equipment: A good breast pump can significantly enhance your pumping experience and efficiency.
4. Store and Label: Properly store pumped milk in bottles or bags, labeling them with the date and time for easy use later.
