  that is a normal output. you can have a great supply and not pump much (like me) just add a few sessions in a day and try not to stress over it (that can affect supply).

  1 oz after feeding is about typical.  What most women do is pump while the babies are being fed out of the house:  so you would pump while your husband is out with your girls.  That's what working moms do:  they pump for the next day.

  Pumping after feeding is a good way to build an initial stash.  You can also try pumping between feedings, but yes, you risk not having as much when they are ready to eat.

  If I were you I would keep doing what you're doing, try to find some time in between feedings if you can, but plan on pumping while your husband is out with your girls.

  I find that my supply is always highest in the morning and that is also when DD's appetite is lowest (if I give her a pumped bottle, she'll only eat about 2 oz where the rest of the day is about 3-3.5).
