I always got the most first thing in the morning and less as the day went on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281850 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:10:39 +0000 autumnlove 2281850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281849 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:09:59 +0000 Adira 2281849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! Plus if you go longer overnight before that first feed, she may not be emptying your breasts and so you'll have extra for that first session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281847 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:08:36 +0000 AmandaB8 2281847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I don't think it matters either way, TBH. She gets extra fatty milk from you in the evenings anyway. Don't stress about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281836 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:00:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2281836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281829 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:56:54 +0000 SeptMomma12 2281829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmandaB8: Ah, interesting. Thanks! Does that mean I should be using milk from each session to fill her bottles for the next day? I've just been using the first 15oz I get and freezing the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281827 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:56:42 +0000 Charm54 2281827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my first pump of the day always gave me almost double of what I got throughout the rest of the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281826 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:56:28 +0000 MrsF 2281826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds normal to me. I definitely get more during my first pump of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281822 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:54:30 +0000 AmandaB8 2281822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal. As the day goes on, milk gets fattier. It has the same nutrient content, but is more filling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-decreases-as-day-goes-on#post-2281821 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:53:17 +0000 SeptMomma12 2281821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went back to work this week and am pumping three times in the 10 hours I'm away from DD - 9:30, 12:30 and 3:30. (I nurse her at 6:30am, 6:30pm and bedtime.) At the first pump, I have been getting around 9-10oz but then at the next two pumps, I struggle to get 4-5oz. It's more than enough to cover her day care needs at this point, but is that normal for output to decrease so dramatically over the course of the day? It worries me that she might not be getting enough at her nighttime nursing sessions. </p>
