How to use it
Write the time you started, the minutes and the amount. Add up the day at the bottom of the sheet if you like to see totals.
Planning a stash for work
If you pump to build a stash for going back to work, keep a sheet in your pump bag and the week's sheets together. They show how the sessions add up and make it easy to plan the next one.
Rather have it charted for you?
Ella logs each session with its amount, charts sessions and averages, and keeps pumped milk separate from feeds.
Sharing it between shifts
If a partner washes the pump parts or gives the bottles, the sheet tells them when you last pumped and how much each session gave.
What each column means
Time is when the session started and Minutes is how long it took. Left and Right are the amounts from each side; if you pump both at once, write the combined amount under Total. Notes are for anything worth remembering, such as a new pump setting.
Printing it
The PDF comes in A4 and US Letter and prints well in black and white. One sheet covers a day of sessions, with a Total row for the day.
