Week 6 postpartum: how much milk are you pumping daily?

Question

I'm pumping on average 20oz 25oz per day, but don't have enough for storage. How about you ladies? Anyone has surplus for storage at this point?

Answer

I'm not normal. I'm producing 90 ounces a day. My little man eats about 30 of it and I'm putting around 60 in the freezer a day. I'm not taking any supplements or anything to help make the extra. Just drinking lots of fluids and pumping every 4 to 5 hours. My stock pile consists of over 1,800 frozen ounces so far.

Answer

Some of these numbers seem crazy to me! I EBF and pump once per day after my baby's early morning feeding just to build up a stash in the freezer for date nights, etc. The first 6 weeks I got about .5-1oz total when I pumped. Now at 9 weeks I get 1-2oz. I've built up about 50oz in the freezer. I drink about a gallon of water per day and eat rolled oats everyday too. That's awesome for you ladies that are able to pump a ton, just wanted others to know the other side. :)

Answer

I'm 8 wks post partum and I pump anywhere from 60-69 oz a day now. I drink mothers milk tea and it doubled my supply:) my freezer is full, I need to buy another freezer. I definitely recommend the tea:)

Answer

At 8 weeks I only pump around 25-30oz a day. I supplement one bottle of formula so I can try and put at least 4-5oz in the freezer a day.

Answer

Lol, I produce maybe like 5-10 oz a day which isn't even enough to ebf my baby. I tried everything to increase my supply, and many things just don't work. I'm almost 9 weeks post partum, and I tried power pumping. I get like 10 ml COMBINED after an hour of pumping.

Answer

Mine was born on February 12th, he is ebf but we introduced a bottle at 4 weeks, then again 1 week later, and a week after that...So he won't reject the bottle when I go back to work at 12 weeks. I started pumping when he was 3 weeks old. After just pumping every few days lately I still have well over 100oz stashed in my freezer. 
I pumped this morning for the first time in a week and got 5 oz of milk from one side in just 5 minutes. I'm very proud of my supply, as I didn't know a thing about keeping up with supply with my now 8 year old and so I dried up when he was 3 weeks old.

Answer

I started pumping once a day when he was 4 weeks old to get a freezer stash and to let my husband give him a bottle. I have about 70 oz in the freezer I think. He is now 8 weeks and I just went back to work Thursday. He breastfed about 7 times a day the 2 days I worked and I pumped 3 times a day to make up for the bottles he would be having. Had an extra 7 oz to put in the freezer between the 2 days. This weekend I am ebf on demand.

Answer

I pump about 9 oz a day after feedings, but as of yesterday nothing is coming out of my right boob!!! I'm freaking out have no idea what happened. I'm eating lactation cookies and I started the tea last night, but no clue what happened and I'm so upset. I had my son eat from that breast all night until he got fussy since he wasn't getting anything

Answer

I don't breastfeed, and I can get about 6oz a day pumping.

Answer

Maybe they don't feed straight from the breast as often and mostly pump though! Or just produce A LOT haha. My friend feeds from the boob every feeding and still pumps like idk 40 oz a day or so! I just don't make that much , not even close
