I don't pump regularly, and EBF, but I get between 1.5 oz and 2.5 oz from both breasts if I pump within a couple of hours of a feeding. I have gotten up to 4 oz if it's been longer, but that's been only a couple of times. I pump before I go to bed or after the first morning feed, with the intention of having a small freezer stash for DH to watch LO if I need/want to go out by myself. We don't feel comfortable with the ILs watching LO, and my parents live too far away.

From what I understand, the more you pump, the more you will produce; the same as for feeding directly from the breast. And if your DH feeds your LO the pumped milk, you should pump for that session, too. Especially since your supply is still regulating. Good luck with your pumping.

That's great!!

I pump once daily after our first morning feed and get about 8 ounces. It's going straight to the freezer!

I only get 0.5-1 oz total for both sides when i pump after a feed so you're doing great! I have a low supply it seems.

I usually got about 0.5 oz per side (so 1 oz total) after nursing. Except after the first morning session - then I would get more.

@kitty: Yes, that sounds great! Definitely get a hands free pumping bra, the simple wishes one are the best. I didn't get one until I went back to work and it has made pumping so much less awkward for me. I wish I had gotten one way sooner.
