Now that is a topic I really like. I admire your dedication. You will be a great mom.

Here is what I would do:

Get a good hospital grade dual breast pump, spare no cost if you can, and pump at the exact same times every day to get started.

Once your baby is born let him nurse whenever he wants. Always offer your breasts. But you need to get your supply built up. I would pump every day at (example) 7 am, 9 am, 11 am, 1 pm, and so on. Pump every two hours like that until evening. 2-5 minutes per breast will do for the start. Then slowly increase the time you pump over time. Be patient, relax, avoid caffeine, avoid OC medicines as most of them have little reliable information about their effect on breastmilk. Good Luck, Mommy.
