I usually get around 3 oz for the first 3, a little less for the last, and then I pump again right before bed and sometimes I only get 1-1 1/2 oz! I usually always make 3 oz bottles and that seems to satisfy her.

She's 4 months old and rarely drinks all 4 oz.

I pump the most in the mornings (I pump while I'm putting my make up on). I'll get about 5-8 oz in the mornings and then only about 1.5-2 oz while I'm at work. I'll pump one more time before bed and get 4-6oz. While I'm at work, I only pump one side at a time, because that's how I nurse my daughter. formula323 on "Do you pump the same amount every time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pump-the-same-amount-every-time#post-289817 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:02:02 +0000 formula323 289817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So I know that your breastmilk decreases in volume and increases in fat content as the day goes on. But I was rather alarmed to pump 1-1.5 oz less during my afternoon sessions than what I usually put in LO's bottles! Today is also my first day back at work and first time pumping more than 1-2x in a day, so I'm a total noob :( Does your total of pumped milk change throughout the day? More importantly, do you put the same amount of bm in all of your LO's bottles? How do you know how much to give??
