How much do you pump?

Question

How much do you pump per session and how long do you pump for? Also do you exclusively pump or pump and breastfeed...how many times per day?

Answer

I ebf and right now only pump for comfort or so my LO can keep up practice on the bottle, I go back to work in 5 weeks, she is 9 weeks old...I pump 2-3 times a week and since I am not punping to fill my baby I go for less than 10 minutes...typically 6-8 minutes and the amount I get depends I the recent feeds for my baby, but probably 6-7 oz per session...I don’t want to increase my supply to an uncomfortable amount, so keeping pumping to a minimum. When I go back to work I plan to pump twice a day (I am gone about 10 hours and feed right before I leave and immediately when I get home) I hope to pump 15-20 oz in those 2 sessions which was what i did for my first pregnancy 3 years ago

Answer

I breastfeed mostly. I’ll give a bottle for a couple of feedings per day to give my nipples a break. When I do that, I pump and usually get 5-6 oz per breast.

Answer

I pump exclusively. I do it 5 or 6 times a day, one overnight. I have been getting 2 to 5 ounces on each side each time, but it's lately closer to 4. I think it's been a couple weeks since I got 2. I get between 30 and e8 ounces a day. It has been slowly increasing because I used to only get 15 to 20.
