When I pump I get so out of whack for days. My letdowns actually hurt for a few days following a day of pumping. I have an idea and want advice.
I know you are supposed to pump both sides when you work, but I work part time 2-3 days @ 9 hours. Everytime I work and pump (2-3 times per day) I get engorged for the next few days and have pain during letdown for a day or two afterwards. I just get back to normal then I go back to work again.
Opinions here: I only feed on one side per feeding normally because I have oversupply issues. Should I try pumping on just one side at a time when I work - to mimic my usual feeding routine? LC i called said no, but this is a pain in my ..... boobie.
I have about 20 frozen ounces and 35 fresh today so a day or two of not enough is ok.
