**Tina - pumping question**

Since JB is at home this week and not at daycare down the hall I have to pump.  Do you mind sharing - how many times do you pump in an 8 hour work day? And about how many oz do you get?

I usually nurse JB twice so I was just going to pump twice.  However for the past week I've felt like I'm having supply issues so perhaps I should pump an extra time. idk....

    I know you didn't page me but I still remember my pumping schedule!  I always pumped 3x during my 8 hour work day.  And I was never a great "producer.".  I only got about 2 or 2 1/2 ounces each side each time I pumped.

    Ditto.  3 times a work day at that age.  And I never had great supply, but would be excited if I got 5 ounces total a session.

    Thanks ladies!  I guess I didn't need to page Tina specifically, I just did since our LOs are so close in age.  My second pumping session didn't go so well - only 2oz total (1st session was 5oz).  Hmmmm.....I think it's my pump though.  At home I use a hospital pump and get 6-8oz a session.

    Hey J!  I pump 3x/day at work, 9:30, 12:30 and 3:30.  I used to get 10-12oz. total but now I'm lucky to get 6oz.  I keep plugging away though.  Good luck, soon our pumps will be retired!

    I definitely pumped more too when I had to rent a hospital pump.  However, I also remember that I would pump more certain times of the day. Do you think that could also be some of the reason your second pumping session didn't go so well?
