Good BM supply?! Please read all!

Question

I’m a week postpartum and I’ve been getting 3 to 4 oz out eat pump session. I pump for about 15 minutes. I feel like I can never completely get them empty tho! I massage them and if I switch breast to make sure after I think I’m finish I almost always get at least another oz out.

Answer

Just make sure you pace feed the bottles. Very important with breastfeeding babies. At 1 week amount should approximately be 1ish oz per feeding.

Answer

Update I’m now getting 6oz a pump session.

Answer

I exclusively pump as well and pump for 20-25 minutes each session to feel empty sometimes longer, maybe try going for a little longer (this will also help increase ur supply even more) but ur doing great!! :)

Answer

That’s a lot of milk 1 week postpartum? Are you nursing as well!?!?

Answer

Are you nursing also? Or just exclusively pumping?

Answer

Same I was getting 3-4oz and I’m 1 week pp as well but I was also nursing as told by my lactation consultant which caused me to have oversupply.. but that’s a good a good supply for this early

Answer

Pump won’t completely empty you! Only your baby can! But I wouldn’t stress about not being completely empty. Sounds like you have great supply at only 1 week postpartum!! Not sure how often you’re pumping but if you feed your baby every 2 hours during the day you’re doing well over the average! Babies at 1 week typically need about 20oz a day. 😊 keep doing what you’re doing!
