Hi......I have a 9 week old who has still has not perfected the art of the latch. We have been seeing an LC in our area and are planning on seeing a physical therapist later this week for these issues. Since the latch is not comfortable for me, I have been giving him expressed milk in a bottle a majority of the time. My question is, when I have nursed him and he is done and I still feel like I'm not empty, should I pump? OR, should I not pump and let my supply adjust? Right now I am pumping more than he typically eats. He usually eats about 3-4 ounces and I usually pump 4-5.

Yes, I would definitely pump if you have the energy.
