How much are you feeding your babies/pumping?

Question

Mommies who are still breast-feeding your baby… How much milk are they getting per feeding without solids? Or how much are you pumping? I pump at work every three hours and get between 4 1/2and 5 ounces Per pump…Just want to know if that is average?

Answer

I'm lucky enough to EBF, I try to pump but honestly my life is not consistent enough to be diligent about it 😐 I have some stocked up from the beginning but had kinda weaned off the pump after my milk regulated better. As far as nursing, my son nurses about 7 times per day average of 7-8 mins, I have a super fast let down and he's very efficient at nursing so I don't feel that what I pump when I do pump is accurate. I usually get 5-10oz depending on how long it's been since last feed If I do pump, which is rare.

Answer

I exclusively pump. My LO usually eats 8-9 oz, 4 times a day. We are doing baby led weaning and he is still not actually eating much in the way of solids. Mostly playing, chewing, spitting out.

Answer

I pump 3 times a day while I'm at work (10am, 1pm & 4pm) & get about 5oz (2.5 on each side) each time.

Answer

Don't know how much but we ebf. We still nurse about the same as before solids. Occasionally she will go 3 1/2 hours between a feed but that's rare. Breastmilk is more important still so I always feed before solids and after solids for naps.

Answer

Our baby is taking 5, 7oz bottles each day. So 35 oz Total. I pump exclusively (he won't eat from me any more without biting) and pump 4 times per day. I usually pump exactly that amount. I make sure to drink a ton of water and I usually eat one Milkful bar a day. They are expensive but I think they do help after tracking my supply with and without them.

Answer

I struggle with a low supply. My little one drinks 18oz total a day since upping solids to 3x a day. I usually pump between 16-18oz so I fave to supplement with formula some. She eats usually somewhere between 6-10oz of solids a day. 
Prior to solids she maxed out at 24oz a day. Doctor said a slight dip is ok.

Answer

Were still at 5 bottles, 6oz each per day. I don't do solids every day, but even when I do, she may drink like one ounce less a day, so hardly a difference

Answer

4 bottles with about 4oz in them each. That's how much I leave at the daycare when he's there 8am - 6pm.  But they also feee him 2x solids (small portions).

Answer

I pump up every 2 hours at work and get about 6 ounces total (3 on each side) every pump session
