Re: my mouth is still agape that someone pumps 20 ozs

  • jealous of your 6.5.  The best I've gotten is 4.5.

  • How old is her LO?  By two weeks pp I was pumping anywhere from 10-12oz per sitting.  So I'd imagine if I'd kept it up my supply probably would've increased to something absurd as well.
  • I saw that too and was reminded why I guess my tatas are slackers.  I would get 2 oz sometimes.  It sucked. 
  • Whaaaat? envious.

    Im jealous of the 6.5 too, I'm chillin around the 4.5oz mark.

    sigh

  • She also donates 1/2 of what she pumps.  I think that's awesome!

  • Holy sh*t!  I think the most I ever got was maybe 10 when I was seriously engorged after our date night ran long because we had to go to a later movie time.

  • I get anywhere from 12-17oz each time but thats prob because I don't nurse, just EP. I'm down to 3x a day and still have enough to support her without supplementing formula. Now that she's eating 8 oz per feeding we will see how it goes!

  • Seriously!?

    I am still proud if I get a full 3oz.

    That shiit is nuts.

    Holy Crap! Seriously?! I get 6-6.5oz only after a full night of STTN! And that's now - 4 1/2 months pp
  • The most I can get at once is 4 oz.

    Ditto I usually get 2 1/2 oz (have had supply issues since day 1) would love to even get 4 1/2 :)

  • I can get 5oz in one pump on a good day.

    Jealous! 

  • I was in awe of it too. And I think she said she pumped 24 oz in a single sitting. I am actually not jealous because I can NOT imagine that. You would be in so much pain I think!

    When I am super engourged from going like 6-7 hours I can get 10 oz sometimes... but that is like a miracle pumping. My boobs would fall off or explode if they were holding 24 oz... and they are size F. How does it fit??

  • The most I pump is 16oz in the a.m. then it tapers off to about 8-10oz per pumping...I can not imagine 20oz in one sitting...my a.m. session with 16 oz hurts like no other !
  • I think the most I ever pumped was 26 oz. and this was after about 10 hours, I produced about 2 oz. per hour at my peak.  It took me about 45 minutes to an hour to fully empty.  The amount of food and water I had to eat to support this was crazy!  I hated every minute of EP and the only reason I did it was because I was fortunate enough to only pump three times a day yet make double what my DD ate.  I had anywhere from 4-5 clogged ducts per week and never ended up with Mastits until I weaned.  I weaned at 10 weeks and had 700 oz. in my freezer and was able to give my DD a bag of half formula half BM until one week shy of her turning four months.  I weaned because for 7 of those 10 weeks EP I had horrible Thursh that I finally got rid of after taking Difulcan 200mg/day for 5 weeks!  I would love to have BF my daughter and still carry the guilt with me that I did not see a LC immediately after coming home, I think this has a lot to do with my PPD.
