When I initially start pumping, do I pump every 3 hours over night or just once overnight? Also, will I be lucky enough to get the wonderful weight loss advantage when pumping like you do when you are breastfeeding a bio babe? I have gained 15ish pounds on this protocol ! eek....and would like it to GO AWAY!! thanks, melanie Last edited by ethiopiamel; 06/17/08 12:50 PM.

I want to know from your experiences if this is normal btw I was on accerlarated protocol, Any advice on increasing milk production will be appreciated. another thing I had ordered more yazmin cuz I thought I wasn't ready to pump so I only took one pill from the new pack I ordered then nexy day I pumped so I stopped yazmin , is this okay our should I just take the yasmin as well. Please let me know Thank you so much in advance
