MOST of the time I get 4oz combined from both sides.. this crazy 11 or 6 stuff only happened once she dropped all her night feedings but one, so the other boob goes from 8pm-7:30am without expressing... the first pump of the day is very productive. </p> <p>@Smurfette: Thanks!!! And I dunno - I need to touch base with DH about it. I'd love to drop a pump session at work, if nothing else. But don't see any reason to wean right away. Especially since we're going on vacation in a few weeks and don't think changing her eating dramatically before then is such a good idea. Plus boobs on the plane will be easy.</p> <p>@marionberry: Me too! It had never happened before. And I don't think I am getting more as she gets older, I am just super engorged in the morning if she doesn't eat much overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1199017 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:35:18 +0000 marionberry 1199017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! And I'm impressed by 11 ounces! The most I've ever gotten from one breast is 6. Has it increased as your lo has gotten older? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198932 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 09:00:51 +0000 Smurfette 1198932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Congrats on making your goal!! Are you going to keep it up?</p> <p>Boobs are weird like babies. They are so different day by day. I weaned over two weeks ago and now I am leaking. I don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198926 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:55:32 +0000 Revel 1198926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on reaching your goal! My output varies but occasionally I'll end up with a good two ounces more than normal, and it's usually dependent on how much she nursed overnight. I also have a sort of pattern through the week - where Mondays and Fridays are low output, and then it kind of peaks on Wednesday-Thursday.</p> <p>Also, I've never gotten 11 ounces or even 6 ounces in a single session, so wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198902 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:42:14 +0000 JoJoGirl 1198902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: @Foodnerd81: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198900 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:42:05 +0000 JoJoGirl 1198900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Hmmm good question - yeah at the end of the day I ended up with maybe 2 oz more than normal, but it varies SO MUCH, like a range of 6-7oz from day to day. LO was totally ravenous for some reason on Monday when I was home with her, so maybe they kicked it up a notch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198887 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:32:29 +0000 Adira 1198887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on making it to 6 months!!!</p> <p>And our boobs are crazy! But I'm curious - how were your boobs the rest of the day? Did you end the day with 5 extra oz than normal? I find that when I pump an amazing amount in the morning, I usually get less than normal in the afternoon, or vice-versa! Boobs are weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198885 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:30:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 1198885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for making your goal!!</p> <p>And I have no idea about what's normal. I know the one time I was away from the baby all day and pumped, I expected a little more than when I pump an hour after she eats. Nope, same amount. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198881 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:28:56 +0000 sslm 1198881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I don't know about the pumping because I don't do it very often, but yay for 6 months!!!!!! Good job mama :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-get-my-boobs#post-1198876 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:26:56 +0000 JoJoGirl 1198876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday LO nursed at 5:30am (she always only eats on one side). When I got to work at 7:30, I was TOTALLY engorged on the other side, pumped and ended up with *11 stinking ounces*!! Psyched, right? Today, same thing - she ate at 5:30 on the other side, got to work, and pumped 6. WTF? Why is it so inconsistent? Does water play THAT big of a role? </p> <p>Also: today is LOs 6 month birthday so we made our nursing goal, yippee! </p>
