moms going back to work, how much are you?

Freezing and storing now per day? I'm doing about 10oz per day if that

I started pumping when DS was about 2wks (once after the morning feeding and sometimes once at night). I probably averaged about 8 oz/day to freeze.

Now that I'm back to work, I send what I pump in the morning with him to DC and pump 2x at work (about 10 oz total) and freeze that.

I go back in 4 weeks and really haven't pumped too regularly. I probably pump 2-3 times per week and get 4-5 oz each time. Once I go back I'm trying to feed him in the AM, pump 3x/day while i'm away from him at work, and then BF again when I get home.

The little bit Im pumping now is really just used for DH to feed him or any family who comes over and wants to give him a bottle. Other than that I'm always with him and have been almost entirely BF him. 

When I go back I'm afraid I'll be in for a rude awakening!

I have been freezing about 4oz/day.  I'm not in any great hurry to build up a huge stash - because I know I just need enough to get through that first day at daycare.  Then I'll just be pumping for the next day.  It's easier to just pump once a day anyway.  I don't want to start an oversupply problem.

I pump once a day, 4-5 oz (still at home with LO). As PP said, I don't want oversupply issue. Once I go back to work, I hope to pump at least 2x a day at work.

I have a two day supply in the freezer for emergencies. I don't pump extra anymore though. Whatever I pump one day at work will be for LO's bottles the next day.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough to pump. Milk came in about a week after DD was born and she drinks whatever I pump right after. Taking Fenugreek now and it seems to be helping a little, but still not enough to store. We have been supplementing with formula.

I only pumped a little, but I was told by a lactation consultant that when you go back to work, you will pump about one oz per hour you're awhile from your baby.  So really you should be able to pump at work what the baby will need the next day.  As long as everything goes to plan.  Lets hope, right?!
