how often do you pump and how much do you get per session? i know everyone will have a different output, but i'm wondering what others get. i'm so worried i'm doing this wrong and a few weeks down the road my supply is going to drop off. M is also starting to sleep at least 6 hours straight at night, sometimes longer. can someone give me some thoughts on this schedule?
-bf M between 5-7am
-pump at work 3 hours from whenever she ate last. i usually get a total of 3-4 oz. from both sides.
-pump at work 3 hours from the last pumping session (even if its right before i go home). i usually get 2-3 oz. from both sides during this session.
-M has two 3 oz. bottles while i'm gone between 8 and 2.
-M normally nurses 3-4 times before going down between 8 and 9pm.
-since she's sleeping so long, when M wakes up between 3 and 5am, i feed her on one side and pump my engorged side, getting exactly 3 oz. every time.
i have a bit of milk frozen, but we've been giving her fresh milk. like right now, there is 20 oz. of milk in the fridge plus her two 3 oz. bottles made for tomorrow.
thoughts? (other than i should just relax and quit worrying)
