If you're exclusively pumping, the goal is to mimic your baby’s natural feeding pattern to maintain and build milk supply. Here are some key reminders:

💧 Pump at least 7 times per 24 hours, ideally 8–10 in the early weeks.
🌙 Don’t skip nighttime sessions (especially between 1–5 a.m., when prolactin levels are highest).
⏰ Try to space sessions evenly, about every 2.5–3 hours during the day.
🧊 Stay hydrated and try to rest when you can—it can really makes a difference!
