I just finished the babymoon period of pumping and managed to pump 12 times per 24 hr. period. Now, I can pump every three hours -- yayy! I am still only getting minimal drops of milk - and from what I am reading that is normal - right? When will I see an increase? I just started menstruating today, so my hormone levels are decreasing. I start to get paranoid and wonder if the pump is working properly - you know? Punky Copy Link to Clipboard

The very first time I pumped, I got enough to almost cover the bottom of each bottle. Then within the first 48 hours, I was only able to get drops, sometimes nothing at all. A week later (this was also after my period had ended), I was getting much more, and I was working my way toward a half ounce from each breast. So... I think you must be right on track. Dedicated
