How much did you have stored?

I have been starting to store my milk because I'm going back to work soon.  I wondered roughly how much you had stored before you went back to work? Thanks!

  • I only had about 50oz.  I pumped fresh the weekend before so I didn't have to dip into the frozen my first day back.

  • I have about 100 oz. now which was all pumped over the last 2 weeks, so I'm hoping to have about 250 oz. when I go back to work in 3 weeks.

  • When I went back in Jan, I had about 30oz.  But I didn't really try to get more.  I had to not pump when she was 1-2 months old because I was trying to get an oversupply problem under control and pumping was exacerbating it.  Now (I've been back for 2 months) I have about 150 oz.  I also don't usually pump any additional times, just the 3 times at work and always have a little more to freeze each day than she needs.  Sometimes when she goes to bed really early I'll pump (maybe twice a week) and then I freeze that.  I use frozen on Mondays and fresh on Tuesdays and Fridays to cycle through the stash.  I freeze my pumped milk on Fridays.

  • I have about 600 oz and another month of maternity leave...I EP and just dropped down to every 4 hours, but I'm putting out more than ever. It makes me feel good to know I have it though.
