Breastfeeding

Another question about pumping!

My LO is 13 days old. I want to start pumping just to build a small stash for when we go out and I don't necessarily want to pump in public (gatherings, to the mall etc.) I don't need a huge stash as I am not going back to work for another year.

I have read that the best time to pump is in the morning which I am going to try to start tomorrow. Is it good to do it right after or wait a bit?

I fed him this evening and then just tried to pump a bit after to get the feel for it. I was able to get 1oz out of one side, I never did try the other side.

 Is that ok to only do one side at a time?

Also after my nipple looked really big and all funny looking. Is that normal? It does not get that big after LO feeds.

Thanks for answering my newbie questions! Sorry if they have been repeated, I did read through some of the posts but never really found a clear cut answer!
