how much are you guys getting pumping?

Question

I work at night and just curious to see how much everyone is getting?

Answer

I pump twice a day. Once at night and once in the morning and breast feed the rest of the day. In the morning I get 5 ounces per breast and at night I get about 3 ounces per breast. I've been doing this since 2 weeks old with pretty consistent amounts.

Answer

When I pump I get between 3-4 oz at each time.

Answer

It depends how long it is between the time I pump and when I last nursed her. I only pump once a day. If it's been 4 hrs I usually get 4-5 oz. If it's been 8+ hours, days my baby goes to work with my hubby and I sleep in, I get about 8 oz.

Answer

I get a total of 3 oz. I don't EBF and I don't pump often. But she still nurses, especially when she's tired, it puts her to sleep. I try to BF as much as possible when I'm home, when I'm at work, I pump before and after and still only get 3oz each time.

Answer

I've never had enough supply and have had to supplement from day1. The most I will get is 3oz put of my left breast and 2 if I am lucky out of righty but that is a rarity. It is so frustrating!  I am going to be having ateast 3 surgeries coming up, the first one within the month and would like to be able to have a frozen stash but I don't see that happening. I am thinking about letting him bf then supplement and then save what I pump afterwards. I usually feed him the pumped milk at the next feed. My milk was really starting to dwindle after our trip to the East Coast because we were so busy during the day that I didn't have time to pump like I should have been, we were there for a wedding and busy sewing old friends. This week I have made a huge effort to make sure that I am pumping every 2 hours or so and taking my More Milk Plus pills. It has helped, I was only getting 1oz total there for a while. I feel like a failure since I am not able to make enough to feed my LO and he so prefers my milk to the formula. My mom is an IBCLC and L&D nurse of close to 40 years and being raised around that I always thought I would be able to ebf with no problem. I feel like we need to be more honest with FTM's that they may have this problem. My mom always acted like there was no reason women can't bf and I have called her out on it now. My sister had copious amounts of milk when she had her daughter. So frustrating!!!

Answer

I started back at work almost a month ago. I pump once before I leave and get 1.5oz-2.5oz. I pump 2 times at work usually bringing home 9-10 oz. I nurse on demand for the rest of the night. My supply seems to have increased with my new pumping at work routine.
