Breastfeeding

Is this a low supply?

I fee like I am doing pretty good with breast feeding but now I may be worried...I breast feed LO before work then I pump at 8 am and get 6 oz, then I pump at 12:30 and get 3-4 oz, then I pump at 5 and get 3-4 oz. Then I get home around 8 and feed LO again before bed. Do you think this is low supply? I feel like I am doing okay?  I havent had to supplement at all...

  • Thats alot of milk! I think morning is always more, for me I get 3-4 ox in my first session and the last two sessions I get about 2-3 oz. This is low to me because I can't make enough for DS the next day. You sound like you are getting plenty. I read on Kellymom.com that when you pump you only get a couple ounces anyway...

    This!  I think that's excellent!  as long as you have enough for your LO you have no need to worry! 

  • Thanks all...I figured it was enough but some people were like I put 8-9 oz each sitting....sometimes I only get like 1.5 from my "bad" boob
