I know there are other posts like this, but just thought I'd get an updated one started :). How much can you / do you pump at a time or throughout the day? I am not sure if what I'm getting is "normal". It feels low when I talk to some of my friends (but I think they are mini milk machines, because they have some crazy stories).
I feed her twice before I leave for work (2AM and 6AM) then:
7AM: 3 - 5 ounces
10:30AM: 3 - 4 ounces
1:00PM: 3 ounces
4:00PM: 2 - 3 ounces
Then I feed her 2 - 3 times more at night.
Essentially, I'm pumping 11 - 13 ounces in 4 pumps... seems so little...
How about you? Any advice? I've tried all the supplements, oatmeal, lactation cookies, etc.. but maybe not for long enough? None of them have seemed to help.
I'm hoping my production will increase once I get a little more sleep and get used to being back at work.
though I am envious of you 8-10 ounces per session people.
