Hey Gals,
I've been pumping for 19 days now and I'm wondering how my progress compares to those who are ahead of me?
I'm pumping every 2 hours during the day and once or twice in the night. Right now I'm getting about 15 oz a day. Does this seem normal, behind, or ahead of where I should be?
Would love to hear from others who have gone before me!
Thanks!
Amber

Way ahead of me. I did accelerated protocol. I think that's awesome!

I'm only at 2 weeks now. I'm pumping 2.5 oz a day plus Breastfeeding with a supplementer 6-7 times a day. So I don't know what he is getting but I'm guessing no more than an oz max at each feeding.

I've been pumping a little over a week (accelerated protocol). I'm getting about 5ml/session. But it varies! Sometimes I get that from one side. Sometimes I don't get anywhere near that combined! It sounds to me like you're doing great!

That's fantastic. At my peak I was only getting 6 oz a day (regular protocol)!!! I had to stop for a month because of surgery (I just couldn't handle the pumping schedule or take the dom). I restarted a month ago and only make 2 oz every 3 days.
Good for you!!!
