    When I started, I would get about 1.5-2oz total after pumping for 20min.  Now I can crank out 5-6oz each side easily within 5-10min.

    At my peak, I was up to 3 or 4 oz per side at a pumping.  Now I'm lucky if I get 4 oz total per pumping.  My production took a hit when I went back to work in March.  Thankfully, I had such a huge freezer stash from early on!!  DS still has just BM.  I think he's had a total of 5 formula bottles since birth.

    I pump 5 times a day and easily get 5 oz per breast per pumping session. I do, however, pump for 30 minutes each session

    My daughter will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday.  I exclusively pump.  My first pump of the day nets about 4 oz per breast.  Every other pump session gets anywhere between 1.5 and 3 oz per breast.  My boobs aren't very consistent I guess, but they produce enough to keep her happy for now.

    ok thanks!  I pumped for the first time this morning and got about 1 oz on one side.  That was after being up ALL night nursing.  I finally got him to sleep from around 630-9!  One side is really sore so I decided it was time to try pumping and just did that side.
