BF moms who are returning to work

PAGAS

How much of a freezer stash are you trying to get towards?

I work three blocks from home, so most days I will be able to come home at least once to nurse, but I am super paranoid about having enough BM in the freezer.  We have a Subzero, so I can store it for awhile.  I am not going to be able to pump easily at work, so I am paranoid my supply is going to plummet.

I've heard 100 oz is recommended.  I'm no where near that & I return in @ 3 weeks.

I had a stash of 125oz.  Now I have such an oversupply I'm up to 337oz.  With pumping my supply has only increased.  I pump around 3-4am and then nurse at 7am.  I pump again at 11:30am and then either pump or nurse around 4pm.  Then nurse the rest of the night.  I sometime will pump again at 11:30pm if he's already asleep.

I had close to 100 oz, but I only used 20 oz of it on the first day back to work. I then pumped at work, and used that fresh milk for his bottles the next day.  I went back Mon and Tues last week. I have also been adding back to it in that time, so I think there is like 90 oz in there right now?

Don't stress about the stash.  You will likely pump what you need for DC during the days while you are at work.
