How to start pumping for surplus?

chouli77

I am EBF, and we are now 1 week after my c-section. I've had a few pumping episodes so I know the mechanics of how to do it, I just need to know how to do it to stockpile milk. In 2 months I have to go back to work and I want to make sure there's enough milk everyday for LO, and also enough to have ready on-hand when he goes to the nanny's. I worry about pumping taking away from what he needs. So far I have only gotten 2oz of extra milk.

How often should I pump?

When? Between feedings or right after to get any leftovers?

 

Thanks!!
