Pumping woes

sbhughes09

I go back to work in two weeks and LO did a trial run at daycare yesterday. He's 11 weeks and has had no problems gaining weight as EBF. However, I only get 2-3 oz per session and he eats 3 oz every two hours. So if I pump 4x per day (once before we leave and 3x at work) I'd still come up about 3 oz short. I really want to make this work but I'm already so frustrated and the real deal hasn't even started yet! Any advice is welcome.

I am in a similar situation and I have found that i need to pump once at night right before I go to bed. I hate that last pump but it is the only way I can get enough for him

I've found that my body needs to get used to the pump. If I have a few days off work and don't pump then my first day back always seems to wield less milk than normal.
