AW: My stash!
I was producing enough for my DD but was trying to get my freezer stash started for when I go back to work. I was having a hard time pumping any extra after a weekend of need bottles (while I continued to pump) to heal some cracks and thrush. I started eating oatmeal each morning and drinking mother milk tea. My supply upped enough for me to "bank" 4oz each day.
Since I wanted a little more, I made lactation cookies on Monday and since Tuesday I have pumped at least 7oz extra each day. After chatting with a friend, last night I pumped the opp. breast that DD was not nursing on (she only feeds from one side at night) and got 6.5oz more! Then today, I got 3oz more in between feedings! It looks like I will be able to freeze at least 8oz each day if not more!! Hooray!!!

That's awesome!! I've been pumping once at night to build a freezer stash just in case I ever need it, and I've been getting about 4 oz total. The most I ever got was 5.5 oz. And I was excited about that! With my older daughter, I only got about half an ounce total a day through pumping. It sure feels good to have a bunch of milk in the freezer!
