So I pump after every feeding from 9am til about 6-7pm. She feeds quite a few times through the night. I still feel let down but my boobs never seem full unless early morning. I only get 2-3 oz a pump each time. I pump both sides and then combine the milk. She seems full after feeds but I still feel like I'm not getting enough when pumping.... Is there something I need to do, or am I producing just enough for her to eat and then just enough "left over"? I am loving this breastfeeding journey and want to make it a minimum of 6 months.... Any thoughts or ideas please?

How much you pump 100% does not reflect how much you actually produce. Baby saliva is what engages the milk to really. Let down thats why a lot of moms don't respond to a pump
Anything you pump after feeding is surplus! Most mom's in my breastfeeding group only get 1-2 oz post feeding. So 2-3 Is good 😊
i feel so bad feeding my baby formula but he is getting full with my breastmilk and i dont think i am producing enough😔
funny thought. I live in Michigan and am on medical cannabis for epilepsy but quit since I'm pregnant but sitting here thinking after the baby is born my milk is gonna be THC infused lmfao! (they said to breast feed before I do my cannabis or wait until after probably gonna pump enough for a few days) but idk if I can still breast feed with the cannabis and my seizure meds I'm on I asked my doctor and she said to wait until I don't feel the effects of the cannabis or pump before but since then ...
I Am Still Deciding If I Want To Try And Breastfeed or Bottle Feed I Might Try Both...But Does Medcaid Pay For A Breast Feeding Pump???
Could the fact that I only eat two meals a day, everyday be the reason why I'm not producing enough breastmilk ? I need to give my baby formula after feedings because she's still hungry 😔😩 The most I can pump now is 3 oz total & she drinks 4-5oz now..
Breast feeding is a full time job I really want to give up already 😢
@owenjacesmama thank you 😊
