Does supply increase naturally?

Question

I’ve been exclusively pumping and my best pump sessions can get up to 4-5oz. My baby is 2 weeks old. I know supply is based on demand, but does it tend to change as kids grow/eat more. Are there just natural things that impact supply other than pumping/feeding more?

Answer

It definitely increases as the baby grows. But it’s also supply/ demand. Your baby doesn’t require as much now but as they get older will increase the supply since their stomach grows. I know for me I could get 24-28 oz in the morning when my son was 5/6 months from a 10-15 minute pump. Then another 12-16 every 3/4 hrs after that. 
My baby is 2w. 2d and I get anywhere where 6-10 on my morning pump after feeding her  and 4-8 oz on the last pump before bed. I’m only pumping at this point to not feel like I’m going to explode during the day and leak all night (which is funny when I realize how much I used to pump). But it seems like you have a good supply. Don’t stress about how much you pump it will naturally increase with time.

Answer

Hunny that is amazing. I can only get 3oz at the pump and that’s if I go a min in between feeding and pumping any other time I pump 1 to 1.5oz at a time.

Answer

I think that’s a great amount for having a 2 week old! From what I’ve read, don’t worry about how much you’re getting each session. Rather, focus on the total amount in a 24 hr period
