My confidence has been crushed...
A new mama just started back to work and is part of the "mothers-room" schedule. As I was collecting my milk for the day, I see that she's got over 24 oz in the fridge and that's just from 2 pumping sessions!
Here I thought I was doing pretty good by getting 15-20 from 3 quick sessions.
As if it wasn't bad enough that the highlight of my work day (besides leaving) is going down to pump, I now have created a competition with myself on who can pump more. When did I become this lame?!??!

Re: My confidence has been crushed...
This makes me so happy that you aren't a dude because I can only imagine what you'd do in the urinal. You'd probably be having competitions to see who can pee farther.
I think you are doing awesome and who the F cares what she pumps? Jilli is well fed and happy and healthy.
Shut it.
This is definitely the result of your boredom.
You ARE doing really good! I could never relax enough at work to get very much.
I remember my boss pumping in front of me (a whole other story) and in 4-5 minutes, she was swearing because the collection bottles were overflowing all over her. That was before I had kids, so I had no idea that that was unusual. Some women can just pump a lot more than others I guess.
Are you Monica (from Friends)?
If the highlight of your day is pumping. Dude, duuuuuuuuude. Oh and I think what you pump is about what I pumped.
Third and completely unrelated - I'm not going to be in your area any time soon. I declined the trip. In 2011 we have a conference in Pittsburgh ...

Here... I will make you feel better.
I could barely get anything. I ended up having to take domperidon to be able to pump more. I had to pump 1 more session than DD would have ate to try to get enough. It was constantly a battle to keep up. It's a freaking miracle that I BF for 15 monhts.
Feel better? You are super-milk-mom compared to me!
LOL - I can NOT imagine my boss pumping in front of me or me pumping in front of anyone besides DH and DD!
As long as you have enough for her to be fed the next day at daycare, it doesn't matter. That's my opinion.
Oh, and I was able to get a lot more when I first went back than I can now. Not nursing him has made my supply drop a bit. Maybe hers will, too?
ok, but what do her boobs look like? My guess is they are deflated nasty tata's and you got a killer rack..
I'd rather have pretty boobs then boobs that squirt a lot of "modified sweat"...just sayin.
The highlight of my WORK day, not my whole day! That WOULD be pathetic, and probably mentally dangerous.
Yes, I am totally bored here. Although now I have more stuff to look up on the internet (how to increase my milk supply)!
Bummer about the trip NN. I was looking forward to meeting your crazyass!
OMG -- thank you baby jesus for this post! Or should I say --- thank you Viva for this post.
This has me hysterically laughing. Really!
I mean, the whole competition thing but then X's comment about the urinal and Joe's comment about quality over quantity...........freaking HILARIOUS!
LOL - you guys are awesome!
Yes, as a matter of fact, my rack is doing quite well so far! Not saggy at all but I haven't met her so I can't compare. I've just seen her milk.
with a picture of your NON saggy boobs! She'll never know.
