How do people get enough milk pumped to store?

Question

I’m only able to produce about 2-3 ounces each time i pump. My LO drinks it every 3 hours. Idk how to produce enough to be able to store some in the fridge.
I am only one week PPD and exclusively started pumping about 4 days ago

Answer

That’s a great amount to be getting out. Exclusively pumping will most likely help increase it too. Just stick with the strict pumping every 3 hours you can even go less if you’re wanting to up your supply. Completely empty your breasts every time and then pump 5 more minutes. You should pump at least 15 minutes but don’t stop until milk isn’t flowing.

Answer

I was supplementing with formula at least once a day for the first month. I’m now 3 months pp and have almost 1500 oz frozen. Just keep at it! I’m just now toying with dropping a middle of the night pump (daughter sleeps through the night).
