Figuring out a pumping schedule when you are exclusively pumping is a balance between your need to pump enough milk for your baby and the rest of your life. Here are some things to consider. If you have a newborn baby, aim for seven to ten pumping sessions per day. Then, after the newborn phase, you may be able drop some pumping sessions.
You will be able to see examples of how often I pumped at different ages in the sample schedules below. Most exclusive pumpers should aim for a minimum of minutes pumping per day, unless they are weaning. Also, some women find they are able to maintain their milk supply long-term pumping less than minutes. Wight NE.

It will take a few days for your milk supply to respond to this increased demand: some moms see an increase within three days, while others will need to power pump for a week before seeing results. That can be up to eight to 12 times in a hour day, or every two to three hours for minutes at a time. As your milk supply becomes more established, you may find that you can space out the pumping for longer, at least at night.
Many breast pumps come with custom containers that can be used as storage and feeding bottles; others allow you to use a standard feeding bottle to collect milk. You can also collect expressed breast milk in plastic bags definitely use the ones specifically designed for breast milk — plastic bottle liners are too flimsy and fill them three-quarters full if you'll be freezing them to allow for expansion.
Freezing milk in small quantities 3 to 4 ounces at a time allows for easy thawing. Expressed milk can stay fresh at room temperature for up to four hours as long as it's kept away from the sun or other sources of heat. Milk can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to four days and in the freezer for six to 12 months using it within six months is best. So be sure to wash all the pump parts that have come into contact with the breast or breast milk with liquid soap and hot water, scrubbing them with a cleaning brush and rinsing under running water.
When washing by hand, be sure to use a clean wash basin — not the kitchen sink — that is only used for washing infant feeding equipment, and do not place the components of the pump in the sink. Air-dry and put the parts away only when they are completely dry. If your baby is less than 3 months or, born prematurely, or has a weakened immune system, sanitize daily. If your breast pumps parts are dishwasher-safe, place them in the top rack of a dishwasher and put it on a hot water and heated drying cycle.
Remember the rules of breastfeeding supply and demand: The more demand there is in this case in the form of pumping , the more supply in the form of breast milk there will be.
