This is with a manual pump. it'd be interesting to know how much I'd get in an entire day!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803715 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:27:36 +0000 kayakgirl73 803715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting between 10 and 12 oz from 3 pumps at work with a Medela Symphony. Right now I can keep up as little one doesn't take that much. She spent her first week and a half in daycare hardly taking anything. They had to resort to dropper feeding. She started taking more bottles on Monday. I hope her consumption doesn't ramp up too fast as I won't be able to keep up. I have a small stash of around 100 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803570 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:52:08 +0000 LittleFox 803570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started pumping twice per day at work (we're days per week), and get about 10.5 oz total. When I'm home, LO nurses every 2 hours or so (5 months old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803536 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:44:06 +0000 NovBaby1112 803536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: don't be! The only reason I produce a decent amount is bc when I am home with lo, she is still wanting to nurse every 2/2.5 hours at over 6 months old! Plus her night sleep for 6 months has been god awful and she *must* nurse at every waking at night (which are a lot!) lol...sooo there are tradeoffs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803535 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:43:48 +0000 pl0508 803535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: it's a blessing and a curse haha. I'm donating about half of my freezer stash because in running out of room </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803498 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:37:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 803498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP 3x a day and am at 18 oz total.

What is wrong with me?! Why do I get so freaking little! :( pouting...</p> <p>@autumnlove: that is awesome to get on top of nursing!</p> <p>@coacheswife123: wow! that's impressive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803489 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:34:43 +0000 autumnlove 803489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse for almost every feed but I still pump afterwards and when the baby is asleep for longer stretches...about 18-24 oz a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803486 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:34:05 +0000 mrskc 803486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only pump once at work right now and I get 7-12 ounces. Just depends how much he nursed during the night. I'll be going full time soon and probably pumping twice. I'm curious to see how much I'll get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803418 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:14:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 803418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I exclusively pump 3 times a day now and get about 16 oz a day. Before my period came back a couple of months ago it was always between 20-28 oz a day :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803414 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:12:48 +0000 ladyfingers 803414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 4 times a day and had been getting about 20 oz but this week it's more like 15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803413 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:12:38 +0000 littlebittyhouse 803413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5oz a session </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803408 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:11:16 +0000 pl0508 803408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3 times at work and usually get 20-23 oz. I usually pump at once in the morning before work (about 5 oz ) and once before bed (usually only 2 after I nurse LO) . He still nurses in the morning and several times after I get home. </p> <p>Curious to see what you get ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803401 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:10:37 +0000 dagret 803401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3x a day - twice at work and once at home - and i get between 16-20 oz. He only needs 16 oz for daycare, so that's good. </p> <p>I usually breastfeed twice in the AM and twice after work, then at least one night feeding. Sometimes two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803397 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:09:48 +0000 lomom 803397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around 28? He is eating 24oz a day and I try to be one feed ahead at least since I EP and we fortify the BM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803395 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:09:06 +0000 78h2o 803395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I'm jealous!</p> <p>I've never pumped and not nursed. I have no idea how much I produce but I'm assuming 24-32, since my little one is EBF and is gaining appropriately.</p> <p>I nurse at 3am and 6am, pump 3x at work for about 60-80 min total (get 8-10oz total), nurse or purmp at 7pm (if I pump, I get 3oz), nurse at 8pm (pump the other side if she falls asleep (1-2 oz), &amp; pump at 10 (get 3-4 oz). If I need to, I will pump again around 12pm (2-3oz). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803378 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:03:20 +0000 NovBaby1112 803378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i pump 3x a day at work and produce between 17 and 22 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803358 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:56:49 +0000 MamaMoose 803358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never pumped all day without nursing. I would assume I would get somewhere around 30 ounces? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803354 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:55:41 +0000 bushelandapeck 803354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 2/day twice a week at work. I usually average about 13oz. I feed LO two more times a day at home. He's 9.5 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803321 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:43:37 +0000 hellobeeboston 803321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i only pump 2x a day - I make about 12-14oz. Wish I could produce more! I also nurse around 3x a day when I'm home.</p> <p>so with the 5 feedings it's probably around 30-35oz a day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803318 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:42:51 +0000 MarieJ 803318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 4 times at work and get 16-18 oz. I hate pumping so much that I don't think about it at home. Thankfully, LO doesn't have teeth yet so no biting. I'm sure that hurts! Ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-803303 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:38:18 +0000 purrpletulips 803303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3x at work and get about 12 oz.

I typically get 18-24oz a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz-of-breatmilk-do-you-produce-a-day#post-802996 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:54:09 +0000 DillonLion 802996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think today might be the day where I pump the entire day and don't nurse (I need a day without someone biting me, thankyouverymuch). I'm curious to see what my total output will be today. </p>
