I started to save the stocks bit by bit about 2.5 weeks before going back to work. Because I fed bb on a feed-on-demand basis, I fed him nearly every 1.5 hours (it's common for newborns). In such case, it's not easy to store the milk much at a time, say maybe 2-3 oz is very good per each pumping. Never mind. For example, bb takes 4 bottles when I am away, you have to ,play safe have 8 bottles, e.g., 3-4 oz each. (up to your bb's situation).
DON"T PUMP before giving birth because it will induce prematured birth.!!!
walkinthesun,
I bought the pigeon bottle set orginally(2 4oz bottles and 6 8 oz bottles)+Medela set (2 4oz bottles)+ Avent (2 4 oz bottles,for collecting milk when pumping).
I used to use milk bags but it can leak easily. THen I bought the Avent bottles for collecting. Also, I use bottle for storage. Depending on how many bottles of stocks you want to keep at the refridgerator that you decide on the no. of bottles you need. For example, I usually bring with me 14-18 oz (2 8oz bottles) of milk back home. THen I need 2 spare bottles to evenly distribute the milk into portions. So, I make sure I got these spare bottles when back home. THen I can steam the used bottles and pumping accessories afterwards.
I have the heater for reheat the milk. But , some mothers also used hot water simply. Yet, you have to make sure that the heat is evenly distributed.
Keep it up. YOu can make it. Any problems, feel free to ask.
