EBF Moms....frozen supply

Hello ladies!  I was just wondering how much you have stored already?  I'm going to be going back to work at the end of August full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week, so I will need storage for my Mom and DH to give Parker.  Parker is 4 weeks today and I just counted my milk supply and I have 117 oz so far.  I think it's good, but just wasn't sure what you guys had stored already.  TIA!

  • I'm not going back to work, but I've been freezing some just incase (if I go on meds for some reason, for solids later on, if we need a date night desperately, etc). I have about 70oz or so. I usually get about 4-6oz when I pump overnight - he sleeps for a good 4-6hr stretch and I feed him one boob and pump the other to get my 4-6oz. That's all I pump though, if I were to pump more seriously I guess I could get more.

  • I started pumping 2 weeks ago, once per day on most days, and have about 80 oz so far.  Not much, but a decent start.

  • I only have about 50 ounces.  I'm going back to work PT next week, but I won't be away from her for an entire day (for work or school) for a few months yet.

  • I have about 60 ounces, 2 weeks of thrush sucks. When I go back to work I will mostly use what I pump the day before for the following days bottles, working in frozen when I need to.

    I have a whopping 7.5 oz four of which will be his overnight bottle.  My supply meets his needs, but I have nothing left over.  When do you guys pump?  I have been pumping at the overnight bottle.  (He is a super slow nurser, so he gets a bottle at his middle of the night feeding.)  I also usually pump after the first morning nursing and before I go to bed after I nurse him.  Unfortunately, I get very little after he nurses.

    This.

    Fresh is better than frozen so I only use frozen as a last resort.

  • I have between 150-175 oz on the freezer. I pump once a day (sometimes twice) and get 4-6 oz per pump (on one side). I usually pump one side in the morning after she wakes up and eats the other side.

  • So you got me really curious! I had to go add up my freezer supply and I have 350 ounces! I couldn't believe it.  I try to pump though after every feeding so that is why my supply is so much more.  I think you have a great start just keep it up!

    Me too. I am not going back to work anytime soon so I haven't been working super hard at it. We'll dip into it for date nights etc.

    I've only got about 20oz- I'm also in Canada so not returning to work anytime soon. I find unless he gives me a 3-4 hour break (and he only really does that once a day) there's no point in pumping because I only seem to get like 1oz (if that). He eats every 2 hours in the morning and every 1-2hours in the afternoon. When he gives me 3-4 hours I get 2-3oz. Oh well...
  • I just started pumping this week so that I would have some available if I need to go somewhere without baby (not returning to work).   So far I have 17oz in the freezer.  Right now I'm only pumping once a day after my morning shower while he is napping.
