Our issue was being in the NICU for 5 months and really needing to know how much he was taking in. Now he's on thickened formula for reflux. He can latch, but isn't really interested. I think my goal is to get to one bedtime nurse a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-618074 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:04:43 +0000 MrsRcCar 618074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish that my son would nurse, but due to some physical issues it hasn't been working. We got his tongue tie fixed at 2 weeks old and his lip tie yesterday. He does latch with shields but gets upset because of his poor latch. Now that we have the physical things resolved I hope to nurse him a little more often. I am proud that I have managed to maintain my supply this long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-618053 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:00:28 +0000 yin 618053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my peak I produced about 35-40 oz a day while exclusively pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-617671 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:31:51 +0000 yellowbird 617671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 15-18 ounces while I'm at work. It's still not enough and I have to use my freezer stash! I also nurse her any time i'm home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-617599 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:16:43 +0000 anbanan15 617599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my high producing days (mid first year to mid second year) I was pumping 12-14 oz per SESSION! At 21 months I was still getting 4-6 oz per session. I'm not sure what daily totals were as we mostly fed at the breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-617576 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:09:33 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 617576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have EP'd for 5 months. I'm down to four pumps and around 28 ounces. My max was 35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-616905 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:08:45 +0000 mrsjyw 616905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>now that i'm back at work, i pump 2 or 3x a day depending on my schedule (3 days a week, since i nurse when i wfh)</p> <p>and i usually get 12-15 oz., I nurse in the am, sometimes when I get home and then at bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615320 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:31:27 +0000 MrsRcCar 615320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump four times a day. I tried to pump every 3 hours but it got to be too stressful. I pump every 6 hours now (roughly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615312 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:29:25 +0000 MamaMoose 615312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know because I'm still on mat leave so I've never gone a full day of pumping. When I wake up in the morning I can pump 4-5 ounces off the breast LO doesn't nurse on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615306 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:28:00 +0000 ninja 615306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! 40 oz is amazing. I usually get 13-16 oz out of 2 sessions at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615300 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:26:47 +0000 LemonLong 615300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 4 times a day and get between 16-18 oz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615292 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:25:16 +0000 MrsRcCar 615292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: My supply has taken a hit here and there. Just drink a ton of water and eat oatmeal. When it was really taking a hit I considered getting mmp but just upped my water intake. I credit a lot of my ability to pump as much as do to the hospital pump I had rented, plus staying on schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615280 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:23:27 +0000 bunnylove08 615280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to be able to pump about 15-20oz a day before going back to work. After going back my supply took a hit and I was able to pump about 16oz a day and now after getting over a cold and stomach bug I only produce about 4oz a day. So DD is getting 1 bottle of BM and then is supplemented with formula when she is with her babysitter. When she is with me or DH she gets BM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615279 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:22:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 615279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually pumped about 35-38 oz per day until a week ago. Now I'm slowly weaning (and down to 3 pumps a day from 4) and I'm producing about 25 oz per day. </p> <p>I used to get about 9 oz per session and now I'm down to 7.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615276 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:21:54 +0000 MrsRcCar 615276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: that's awesome! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615274 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:21:45 +0000 cascademom 615274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily, it's about 8 (on a bad day like today) to 15 oz (a good day). I wished I pumped more when I was on mat leave, but didn't. I use MMP too. I think if I didn't, my supply would be low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615265 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:19:55 +0000 DillonLion 615265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: WOW!! </p> <p>I pump anywhere from 6-12 oz a day (we supplement with formula). Most of it goes to daycare for the following day and then the rest is frozen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-produce#post-615261 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:18:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 615261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been pumping since day one, I have been pumping about 40 ounces a day since he was about 8 weeks old (DS is now 5 months today). The ability to pump this many ounces has given me a great freezer stash. </p> <p>How many ounces do you pump a day? </p>
