How much is normal?

Question

I am 6 weeks pp and exclusively pump every 3 hours during the day and once over night. Each time I pump, I get 2-3 oz combined (my first morning pump is usually 5-6oz combined). Is this normal? Will it eventually increase? TIA
I am drinking lots of water, making sure I eat enough, and trying to stay relaxed and stress free during pumping sessions. I was not able to bf or pump with my first but for 3 weeks.

Answer

Definitely start power pumping (5 minutes on expression, totally stop for 2 minutes, 5 minutes on expression, stop for 2, then 5 more minutes on expression). Do it 1-2 times a day - it should replace a pumping session, not on top of a session (I had that confused when they first told me to do it). I wasn’t too far off from you last week (I’m at 7 weeks now). I’m producing now 3.5-4.5 each session. Overnight, if my LO sleeps more than 4 hours, I can get 5-6oz.

Answer

It should eventually increase! Try including a power pumping session in the morning!
