Is there a reason you are pumping after each feeding? Just pump once a day, after your morning feeding if you are trying to build a stash. Pumping after every feeding is unnecessary and will tell your body to produce too much milk, giving you an oversupply.

THIS! The hospital taught me to pump after every feeding and now I am dealing with an oversupply issue!! It sounds like you are producing exactly what you should be! Plus, pumping after every feed is exhausting and takes so much time away from LO and yourself! I would have to pass of DS to Dad after every feed and miss out on some serious snuggles time because I had to use that time to pump. NOT TO MENTION SLEEP!  I agree with PP's, keep down to maybe a couple pumps a day to build your stash.
