I'm going to say this again just because I haven't said it in a while and I think it'll help relax some of you mommy's minds!
What you pump does not indicate how much milk you are producing! A babies suckle is so much stronger than a pump, therefore they get more at the breast. If you're not pumping enough for one feeding that doesn't mean you're not producing enough. So many factors can effect how much you're pumping from the type of pump you're using to simply needing new pump parts. For example I have 3 pumps, one of them does NOTHING for me (I'm talking 2oz if I'm lucky) & I've always had an oversupply with the other 2 pumps I'm able to pump an average of 8oz per breast in about 20 minutes.
Basically what I'm saying is trust your body. You were made to breastfeed, you can do it. It's far from easy but keep working at it. Just stick with it girl! 😘😘

I hear if they have a good amount of wet diapers than they are eating enough.. as long as they're gaining weight

@dawnrose, yes the diaper count is a good indication that baby is getting enough to eat.
