Bf moms, could pumping in the am hurt my supply for the rest of the day
So since Fri I've been pumping every morning to build a freezer stash for a few upcoming events that dd can not attend.... Around the same time (started Sunday) dd wants to nurse ever 2-2.5 hours & wakes up every 3-4 at night to nurse...she was going 5-6 hour stretches at night...could she not be getting enough during the day now bc I'm pumping?

I always pumping first thing in the morning. Bf'ing is supply and demand the more you pump/nurse the more you will make. Given your lo's age I would guess growth spurt. My kids always were starving fright before they would grow. Just keep nursing and your supply will be fine :) in a few days to a week the baby may start nursing less and you will feel really full. Again your body will adjust after a couple days

Pumping after the first morning feed is the BEST time to pump. It won't hurt your supply, only help it grow...

it is supply and demand, so it can only increase your supply, not decrease it

ITA- you have the best supply in the morning, so it's a great time to pump!
I'm guessing your LO is going through a growth spurt.
