When to start pumping?

kgrey77

I'm hoping to breastfeed as successfully with baby #2 as I did with baby #1.  However, I've decided for my sanity sake I will try to pump so my husband can help feed the baby.  My first didn't take a bottle and that was very difficult...hope it doesn't sound selfish but I don't want to go through that again! 

I was wondering when is a good time to start pumping to get a milk supply?  I thought I read that it's not a good idea to start pumping too soon but I could be wrong.  I've called my local La Leche League but haven't received any calls back in two weeks since I've left a message.  Does it even matter when I start pumping?  I plan to have baby breastfeed right away and hopefully he latches on!  Thank you for any advice!
