BF/Pumping Working moms...re freezer stash

How many ounces of frozen BM did you have when you returned to work?

With Ryan I only started with about 150 oz and had over 600 in no time (once he started STTN I got a lot and I pumped weekends and days off)

However, now with Colin I have about 250oz in the freezer now and another couple of weeks before I return to work. But, for some reason I'm not pumping much in the morning anymore (I swear the mini pill is screwing up my supply) so I'm worried I won't be pumping that great at the office.

I was bad and didn't pump as much as I should have while I was on maternity leave. I probably had maybe 60 oz in the freezer. I drank a ton of water and ate a lot of oatmeal when I returned to work and was able to pump enough each day for the next day. But by 4 months I noticed I coudn't keep up with what DD was eating and we were taking from the freezer little by little. Once the freezer stash ran out I started supplementing her with formula at 5 months. That's great that you have such a big freezer supply already. Next time around I'm definitely going to be more on top of it!
