I am only pumping, and I pump for about 20 minutes each time. The lactation nurse in the hospital said to continue for about 2 minutes after you stop seeing milk come out.

It took 3 months of pumping to get there!! I remember thinking I will never get it up there.

Re: BF moms who pump.....

the only time i can get a good amount of milk is if i pump first thing in the morning. sometimes after feeding DS on onde side i'll pump the other side and i can get usually about 4 ounces in about 10-15 minutes. lately if i pump at night, i can only get about 1 ounce and that could be after a half hour. i used to be able to pump more, but i don't know what happened. i don't pump during the day because i feel like then DS won't have anything to eat when it's time to BF. When does everyone do their pumping?

are you saying you are curious as to why we can't pump when it's up full speed?

I pump after DD is done eating. Its BF, burp session, pump. I used to get 2-3 oz. now I get about an 1/2 -1 oz. I just add up the oz during the day to make a 4oz bottle for DH.

I think pumping like this helps my milk supply because my supply was almost gone when I stopped pumping and when i started up again it is coming back, slowly. HTH

I only get 1-1.5 ounces when I pump too...I save it all and at the end of the day I have a 3-4 ounce bottle for DD...I have to supplement with formula after i breastfeed..Do you supplement also?

That's OK. Sometime DD needs more than the 2-3oz and takes in 4 or 5. The way I look at it is that any amount if BM that I can give her is a good thing and thank God that I had a supply to even give to her. A friend of mine had no supply after giving birth. Don't be hard on yourself. Chat Icon

Re: BF moms who pump.....

yeah..i felt guilty at first, but I just always think some breast milk is better than none!" Now I don't feel guilty bc she is a very good sleeper and I think that has to do with the formula..
