I always pump once in the am on weekends. I just pumped 5 oz!!! That's the most I have ever pumped in one session! Sometimes I get 4 oz when I'm away from LO at work, but 5 oz at home when LO just ate 35 minutes ago? Crazy!
What's the most you ever pump?

Nice! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I got 5oz at work randomly the other day & I was sooo excited. Usually it's 3.

@Corduroy: my DH just said "holy shit!" Haha
I wish I knew WHY I got so much this time, I'd keep doing it!

My week at work was pretty stressful and I felt a huge relief come 5pm Friday. Had ice cream last night and then LO slept extra well overnight and slept in this am. That's my theory - happier, well rested, ice cream having momma = more milk!

I have a major over supply so I think I'm the exception. I usually get between 12-15 oz in the morning!

@coacheswife123: that is nuts!! I'm jealous, but I guess oversupply could come with its own downside?

Yay!!!!
I had a super oversupply and would get 14 oz in the middle of the night. Now I usually get 2 oz per side. I only pump once at work and never on the weekends. Lo is 10.5 months!

@cmomma17: that's great. I always pumped way more in the mornings.

@yellowbird: holy moly! 14 oz!
I've wondered if I should drop my weekend pumpings, but LO is only 12 weeks and I'm obsessed with keeping my freezer stash stocked. 2 oz on each side is pretty average for me. I pump twice at work and nurse on my lunch break.

@cmomma17: absolutely. I had a lot of trouble with my strong let down in the beginning. Definitely a learning curve ! And EP is easier for us !

@T.H.O.U.: I do too. The weird thing is I pumped much later than usual today. I guess I was fuller from the extra sleep?

Yay!! I was able to make a connection between stress and my supply. So I made sure to be as relaxed as possible while pumping, and I had the best results. The most I have ever pumped in the morning was 10oz. I EP'ed with my LO.

I would keep pumping. I pumped in the motn until LO was around 6 months and would pump on weekends sometimes. Im planning to stop pumping all together in 2 weeks! Woohoo!

Nice!! I just started attempting to pump at 7 days pp, and I was thrilled to get almost 2oz total! Wooo!

I once got 3 oz from the side that LO nursed from! I was really surprised! The most I've pumped is 6 oz total from both sides, and that was after a night without pumping/feeding.

I think a little over 4 oz. once (on one side). Usually, I get between 2-3 oz. That's awesome!

I usually get 12-14 oz. in the morning.. On a few rare occasions I've pumped 17 oz, but I think that's my max.

@LaineysMom: wow to 17! What were you pumping into? My bottles only hold five oz each!

@cmomma17: I gave in and bought the 8 oz. Medela bottles bc I hate switching bottles mid session.. I use the 8 oz. bottles in the mornings and the 5 oz. bottles for my other 2 pumps.

@LaineysMom: I would make a mess if I tried to switch bottles mid session!
clementine / 916 posts
Yeah, when I have to do it, I have everything all set up and I just lean back and switch the bottles with the connectors attached. I've also gotten so engrossed on HB that the bottles start overflowing.. Urgh.. I love those 8 oz. bottles.
