I just looked and I have about 65 ounces stored up.
My LO is one month old (I havent been pumping for long).
What about you?

Wow. I'm jealous. I have zippo!
How'd you get much? Any time I pimp I end up giving it to her. -
I probably have around the same and LO is almost a month old too. BUT I have inadvertently created an oversupply of milk - he only feeds from one side a feeding and I have been pumping the other boob. Now I'm constantly engorged unless I pump since he can't drink as much as I have AND I have a forceful letdown so he chokes a lot, etc. So, I'm trying to tame my oversupply and not pumping over the next few days.

I think the most I've ever had is about what you have.
Now I have none. I've had none for about 8 months! -
Thousands are in a deep freezer. I hope it doesn't go to waste!

A whopping 25 oz! I hate pumping!!! Now I just pump once after LO goes to bed since he gets a bottle and he gets that milk the next night.

A big fat ZERO!
I had & continue to ride the line of having oversupply issues so after pumping 1 time, getting 12oz, & then almost getting a clogged duct bc I was engorged for 2 days as a result, I try to stay away from pumping.
I know some moms like to use their oversupply to build a stash but since I want to ebf for atleast a year clogged ducts & mastitis are on the top of my list to avoid at all costs! I'm able to nurse her so having a stash isn't really a necessity.

Maybe 40 oz? I didn't start pumping and freezing until we started giving LO a bottle during week 3... so two weeks ago. That was also about the time that I started feeling normal again and realized that I might want to get out of the house without her one day

@autumnlove: thousands! you should start cycling through it now! i stored a lot the first month, but not much since then. i probably have about 15 bags of milk 4-5 ounces each, so around 65-70 ounces.

@Mrs. Bee: I went crazy with pumping during maternity leave! We cycle through my stash for bottles for daycare and home. Right now we are using milk from late March mixed with fresh milk. I think LO might spend a week with my parents next month so the stash will come in handy.
