Normal amount? Baby is 3 weeks, this is from pumping for 5 mins on each breast. I feel like it's not enough 😓

Question

Answer

That's fine! The only way to know if baby isn't getting enough is if baby doesn't pee and doesn't gain weight. You can find a baby group that has a scale and go weigh baby once a week and that's how you'll know if baby is getting enough milk. But that's a ton. My baby is 5 months and still only takes two ounces from a bottle, though I bet she gets more when she nurses.

Answer

Are you ebf? If so, then this is actually really good for ebf. The typical output for an ebf mom is .5-1.5oz. Anything more is typically considered oversupply. Also, baby is only 3 weeks so your supply is not yet regulated to babys needs, which won't happen until around week 6-8.

Answer

Normal, but you also have to train your body to respond to the pump. Just like your body had to learn how much milk baby needs. Body responds easier to baby. The more you pump, the better you will respond and the more milk you'll get. Just keep it up!

Answer

It's amazing to me that you posted this for multiple reasons. 
     My supply is exactly the same! I was looking for a post related to my question before I posted anything. I only pump each side for 5 minutes before it just stops coming out and I combine the two and get 2 oz total each time I pump. I feel like it's not enough too, but the nutritionist told me that he's eating right at about 2 oz each feeding. But he should be nursing for a total of 40 minutes. She also said that he's getting more out when he nurses that a pump pulls out. Another thing is, you can pump again in 10 min. She said our milk has a "let down" about every 10 min and that there's ALWAYS milk in there. 
     Are you nursing too or just pumping? The baby tells your body how much to produce based on the multiple times he needs to nurse. But I have hubs feed my little boy about 2 oz every 2 hours. ( I had to go back to work ) ((he works too just different hours))
   I have the exact same pump! It's so cool to see your bottle with the same pump and the same bottle with the same amount after pumping the same amount of time as me. Makes me feel like I'm doing something right!

Answer

I get just about the same amount with 15 minutes of pumping. My baby is three weeks old on Monday and I also supplement with formula because he was five weeks early. Do you mind sharing how many times you pump per 24 hours? There seems to be a great debate on how often it should be done! Thank you in advance. 💙👶🏼🍼

Answer

This is normal however not for my baby boy. He eats about 3-3.5 oz per feeding every 2 hrs and he's only a month old. 😔 it seems like if I'm not pumping, he's nursing and I barley have time for anything else

Answer

I pump about 3-4 oz per breast, 5 mins on each breast, every 3hrs.  
Try lactation tea, it helps me a lot. Ohh And drink lots of water.

Answer

That's how much comes out when I pump! I'd say it's normal :)
