I just pumped out

3 ounces in fifteen minutes (the 3 ounces is combined from both boobs.)

It seems like a lot to me, but is it?

for me, that was a lot. it took me atleast 20 minutes to get that much.
my supply didn't increase enough to keep up with dd, so i ended up giving up when she was about 3 weeks old.

I think it's great.  In the beginning that's probably what I was pumping and my supply just kept increasing more and more as time went on.

It doesn't seem like a lot to me.  In the beginning I was pumping 6-8oz/session and sometime 10+ oz.  I accumulated quite the freezer supply!  (I exclusively pumped - no nursing for me so that may be why I could pump so much at each session)

That is a lot for me.  I pumped like crazy and never got 3oz total in 2 weeks (milk just never came).

I hope you are recovering well.

I think that's a nice amount.  By the way, if you haven't seen this, it's nice for reference:

I think thats great!  I pumped for 3 months while DS was in the NICU and never got more than 2 ounces at a time.

That's great!

That's fantastic! I never got anymore than 2 ounces from both boobs....3 is great!! Your boobs know what they're doing....mine did not.

I was never able to get much from pumping.  I will tell you, though, your child gets more from your breasts than a pump does.  So, if you don't get a lot from the pump, don't be discouraged!
