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.

I pump 5x a day (once in the AM, I pump whatever side he doesn't nurse on; 3x at work; and once before bed). I typically get 18-24oz a day.

I pump 3x at work and get about 12 oz. I've never pumped all day without nursing.

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!

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.
so with the 5 feedings it's probably around 30-35oz a day?

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.

I've never pumped all day without nursing. I would assume I would get somewhere around 30 ounces?

@NovBaby1112: I'm jealous!
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.
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), & pump at 10 (get 3-4 oz). If I need to, I will pump again around 12pm (2-3oz).

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.

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.
I usually breastfeed twice in the AM and twice after work, then at least one night feeding. Sometimes two.

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.
Curious to see what you get !

I pump 4 times a day and had been getting about 20 oz but this week it's more like 15.

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

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.

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.

I need to stop reading this thread, it's totally frusterating me! What is wrong with me?! Why do I get so freaking little! pouting...
@autumnlove: that is awesome to get on top of nursing!
@coacheswife123: wow! that's impressive!

@78h2o: it's a blessing and a curse haha. I'm donating about half of my freezer stash because in running out of room

@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!

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).

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.

I've been pumping once a day in the morning, on the side she doesn't feed on and I get 4 oz. This is with a manual pump. it'd be interesting to know how much I'd get in an entire day!!

I just returned to work this week, so I only have two days worth of experience, but so far I've been able to pump 10-11 oz at work (pumping twice) and can get another 3-6 oz at home (pumping in the morning and in the evening after he nurses), so a total of 13-17 oz.
