Pumping + Breastfeeding, how to pump to replace a bottle fed cluster feed?

Hey everyone!

I know I’m supposed to pump for every time my baby takes a bottle, but how do I do that while kiddo is cluster feeding? Sometimes I’ll check huckleberry (our tracker) and see that my partner fed my kiddo 3-5 bottles in 3 hours (totaling anywhere from 4-7 ounces).

Do I pump once to replace that? Power pump? Once for each bottle? Once per hour?

7 weeks in and want to make sure I protect my supply. Thanks!

Storing pump parts in fridge in between pumps?

Hi! Are you washing your pump parts every time? Or if you’re pumping every 2-3 hours (like at work) are you storing in a ziplock in the fridge?

I’m currently cleaning every time but man it’s a lot of work!!
