Hi mummy, congrats. My newborn is currently 2 months old and my baby is fully bottled-fed. I dun latch my baby. I do pump my breast milk out and put in bottles. I usually will pump 4 to 5 times a day, every 3 to 4hours depend on my schedule, but during night at i will sleep through the night and start to pump when i my breast feel full or when my baby wake up for milk. Sometimes i will pump at least 5 to 6 times, every 2 hours when i am more free. I will do 1 or 2 power pump per day to manage my supply. For power pump, i will pump both side for 30mins, rest for 10mins, pump 10mins, rest for 10mins and pump for another 10mins. I also eat lactation cookies to boost my milk supplies. Hope this help!!😊
