Do you have access to a Lactation Consultant? If so, definitely seek their help! They were very helpful, especially in the beginning, with both of my kids.

Some women aren't successful with pumping. I was one of them. No matter what I tried, even with a Medela Pump In Style (double electric), I was never able to pump more than 1 oz. from each side.

My youngest nursed every 1.5- 2 hrs. as a newborn, even more frequently during a growth spurt.

It has been several years since my BFing days. I'm sure the nursing moms here can offer more help, but I strongly recommend seeking help from a Lactation Consultant.
