Dear Wise Ones,
I have something that I just can't figure out on my own.  I have read in
many sources that once milk supply has been established with pumping every
2-3 hours (around the clock if possible), then at about 2 weeks mom's may
be able to maintain their supply with just pumping 100 minutes a day.
Now, here is my question:  If the mom is double pumping for 13 minutes
does this count for 26 minutes?  It seems like that wouldn't be enough to
maintain an adaquate supply only pumping 4 times a day.  Or should this
pumping be counted as 13 of the 100 minutes?  What do you recommend to
your mom's who only want to pump and feed, vs. what you recommend to
mothers of preemies &/or multiples?

Trying not to get in the habit of reading too much into things, as THE
exam is coming up quickly!

Thanks,
Brenda Dalton RNC
