Day 6:
1-2 big drops at pretty much every pumping session but my daughter has had a weird day so we have spent a lot of time quietly suckling rather than actually feeding/pumping. I don't know how that has affected my supply. The doctor says that at a minimum *something* should fall to the bottom of the bottle by the end of week 1 and I hope we'll just about make it.

Day 7:
No increase over the past 2 days. 1-2 big drops, and they don't always fall to the bottom of the bottle. I'd say I'm behind where the doctor wanted me to be, but I nursed before I pumped a few times so I can't tell for sure.

Day 8:
This is officially week 2. The shields are wet just about every pump, but I didn't always have something fall to the bottom of the bottle. I collected a grand total of 1ml today. Yippee.

Day 9:
Pumping volume is finally a little higher. I spilled some and I still got more than 5ml over the course of the day. Compared to most people that isn't much, but the last time I tried to induce I never got more than 7ml.

1ml to 5 ml in one day sounds great!

Day 11:
My husband accidentally spilled some of the milk but I think I got 8-10ml today plus whatever my daughter nursed. Regardless that's a new record for me. I'm definitely increasing, albeit slowly. Let's hope it continues to accelerate.

It does sound great! I wouldn't underestimate what your daughter might be getting either.
