OP DawnL extra helpful experienced member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 272	I have a question for when I end the protocol. I take my BCPs around 11 PM. Say I planned to start pumping on a Friday. Do I stop taking the BCPs on Thursday night, or is that Friday the first day I miss the BCPs? Also, I have been trying to plot out a pumping schedule. Do you think I should pump at night, and then taper off with that, when I get my supply built up? We are not matched yet, so I can't see getting up in the middle of the night for months on end, but if it will help me build a supply, I should probably do it. At least for a little while. Thanks for any opinions and experiences! DawnL in WA wife to Jim, mommy to Daphne and Jeran and Jalen

The schedule I am thinking of is this 7 AM 9 AM 11 AM 2 PM 5 PM 7 PM 9 PM 11 PM What do you think? Am I being too ambitious? I have my dd, who is 2, then I watch my 2 nieces and 1 nephew during the day. I don't want pumping to interfer with watching these guys, but it's not like it takes 40 mintues to pump or anything. We'll see how it works out when I put my theory into practice! Thanks again! DawnL wife to Jim, mommy to Daphne and Jeran and Jalen
