If you breast feed every hour or so like you are advised to, you don't need to pump at all. The colostrum is good enough for the baby the first few days (it is packed full of good stuff) and the milk should come in naturally in a couple of days. It's actually good to let the baby get the colostrum, so I would not suggest pumping.

If you feel to full then right after... I just had mine on the 5th of September and I just pumped when I felt to full. Now I'm producing enough to feed her and I won't have to pump probably until I go back to work. Just do it as soon as you get a chance and you'll be fine. Even if you wait a while it's ok,

First weigh why you need to pump... b/c pumping will increase your milk supply. (I personally fell into a trap of pumping after nursing and overproducing, which caused clogged ducts.)
Your body will make as much milk as is in demand.
If you need to produce more, I found it easier to pump on one side while nursing on the other. That way the let-down reflex is already going and there is less stress on the nipple.

Depends on why you want/need to pump?
