I have been EBF for 5 months now and I have started to pump once at night since my little guy sleeps through the night... Well tonight I pumped 2.5 ounces! I know that doesn't compare to a lot of you out there but this is double what I typically get! I'm excited to say the least 😍
some mom's do though. i pump 6 oz from both every 5 hours. but my son also feeds every hour if he wants & has a powerful suck. don't discourage. you are doing great i promise.
@verobaby, is right, that's about average. it's actually not normal for moms to pump more than that, and it's definitely not normal to have a huge freezer stash.
Thanks mamas! I know, I just pump so I have a little extra storage and don't leak over night but my main concern is that my little guy has what he needs during the day so that's why I only pump at night. I make the extra milk into 2 oz milk pops to mix into his fruits and veggies when he starts solids. Thanks for the encouragement! I do wish I could get 2.5 each side but it's all good! @crunchymomma @verobaby
