That's an awesome amount! I would have cried tears of joy if I ever got that much while pumping! Keep up the great work!!

I use to get 6 ounces on each side before I lost my supply so I'm trying to get back to that

Sounds like you are getting some good advice! You are working so hard! I'm amazed!!

YAYYY! That's awesome. How did you know the Falange was too big?

I had the size 36 which is what the hospital told me but the lactation consultant said rarely people need that so she told me to use what I used for my son which was a 27

Great job Milly! Question- what bottles are these? My 5 oz medela ones are getting too small at night when I pump engorgement but I don't want to spend a ton of $ on the bigger Medela ones. These seem to fit the Medela Falange

They r from the hospital and it says Ross but I can't find them anywhere

Looks great! How many oz do you need to be getting to get them off the formula?
As for bottles, my mom got some at Walmart in a single pack, some no name brand I think and they fit my medela pump in style and harmony. I have to grab lids off the 1 or 2.5 oz bottles or a storage kit I got. Those bottles are 9oz size that she got. Now that I've finally regulated, I prefer those for my pump before bed or after breakfast if still full.

I can actually take them off formula now, but I meet with a lactation consultant and she's worried that if I keep pumping the amount I'm pumping now then when they start eating more and I don't have enough stored it's going to be less breast milk and more formula. But with the amount I'm doing now and the amount they drink is enough. But I'm going to start storing some so when they do start eating more we can do more breast milk and less formula.
