by agePumping schedule for a 2-month-old
Quick answer: Plan on 6 to 7 pumps per 24 hours for a 2-month-old. A sample rhythm: 6a · 10a · 1:30p · 5p · 8:30p · 12a (+3a if needed). Judge any schedule change by a full week of totals, never a single session.
The shape of this stage
Regulation era: softer breasts and quieter letdowns arrive right as you drop a session, which makes every EP mom suspicious. Judge by the weekly total, not the feel.
Working the schedule
If output holds for a full week after a drop, the new schedule is real. If it slides, restore the session; nothing is lost by testing.
