how much can you pump?

[happyfamily123]

I didn't bf all night last night (lovely oh took all the feedings for me as I'm sick) and when I pumped this morning at 5:30am I got 3oz but then this afternoon (2hrs after bf'ing) I could only get 1 1/2 oz!

Baby is 15 days old and normally gets about 3 oz. How much do you feed your little one?

my lo is small and takes 60~70ml (just over 2ounce) every 3hrs but am getting between 8~90z so i am freezing some for when i need it in future x

I never pumped after lunch time. Just not worth the effort for a small amount

I always pump in the morning. I feed Erin off one side and then pump off the other...I can get about 5ozs but that's coz I've not bin expressing much lately. I used to be able to knock a full 9oz bottle up when Erin was about 2-3months old. Although in the early days I could barely pump a dribble

I've never had much luck pumping, though it's not for lack of trying. If I'm away from Darwin for more than four hours I can get about 5oz all together (from both sides). Right now I'm taking Fenugreek to try and increase my supply; lately I haven't had enough milk for Darwin, forget pumping!

i used to pump in the evening, if you are diligent and do it at the same time every day then it gets like another feed and I could get 4oz but i stopped so now I get bugger all I just pump in the morning, 8 oz this morning.
