Breast feeding / pumping help!

I want to primarily breast feed but I also would like to pump too so that my partner can bond with baby girl when she’s feeding, when should I start pumping and how often?

Hi I think it’s advised to wait until baby is 6 weeks old until you start pumping as that’s when your milk is settled . However you can get the elvie collection cups that collect leaking milk when you feed baby and use to store or feed from bottle x

I was told to exclusively breastfeed for 2-4 weeks. My midwife told me to use a haakaa on the other boob to catch any drops whilst baby is feeding on the other boob

My baby came early at 34 weeks so maybe different but I've been told to express and pump from the very start for her
