Mamas that are breastfeeding how many oz are you pumping out a day and how often you pump? What did…

I pump during the 8 hours im away from baby. every 2 to 3 hours. I have an oversupply. I get about 18 to 24 ounces a day. I didnt pump.until my supply regulated in 4 to 6 weeks.

@beebaby, oh wow that's a lot you lucky! I had to start pumping already because my breasts get so hard even with him feeding regularly they fill up...babies don't like hard breast harder to latch :/ but when i pump not much comes out unless he's eating on one while i pump the other plus i think my pump is crap

@beebaby, Also i think i will be returning to work after my 6 wk maternity leave and need to have some milk stored up

You technically dont need any milk stored. You only need 1 to 1.5 ounce while baby is away so you just will need 9 to 12 ounces prior to going to work

You should use the hakaa pump instead of pumping for now so you dont force yourself into an oversupply, mastitis or clogged ducts. that is truly miserable

Most moms don't respond well to a pump until they regulate because in the first few months your supply is all over the place bbut once it is established you should be fine
