I was pumping enough for 5 feedings while I was working (I work 12 hours shifts), but now I'm suddenly only pumping enough for 4. LO usually eats 4 feedings while I'm gone, but I'm a little nervous with the sudden dip in my supply. Do you pump enough to cover what your baby would normally eat in a day?

I used to but since I've been sick, I haven't been keeping up as well. I have had to use a freezer bag every day for the past couple of days. I'm hoping my supply rebounds soon. A friend of mine just sends what she pumps so her son only eats what she is producing.

I used to pump twice a day, went home to nurse at lunch. So I would come home with two bottles for the next day's feedings.
I stopped pumping at 9 months because DS was no longer interested in nursing during the day and was getting fussy taking a bottle, too - he was teething.
Now he's only breastfed in the morning and before bed. -
I usually pump around 20-22 oz during the day. LO drinks 18 (4 bottles of 4.5 oz) for now, so I am in good shape right now.
