How often do you pump and about how much are you getting total after your work day?

Re: BFing mamas who work
Wake up at 5:30 pump righty and feed LO lefty. Righty usually gives 6 oz.
Get to work at 7am, pump both at 10-10:30 get anywhere from 8 to 12 oz.
Pump again 3 to 3:30 get about 6 to 8 oz total.
So daily pumped total is anywhere from 20 to 26 oz, which daycare gives LO the next day. IF I have a day off it goes in the freezer stash.
Holy crap - I am jealous of Emmyann's totals...
Here's me:
Pump before I leave for work on the side I didn't feed Violet on: About 3-4oz
Pump around 9am: 2-3.5oz
Pump around Noonish: 2-3.5oz
Pump around 3pm: 2-3.5oz
So around 10-12 ounces - sometimes more...sometimes less. Violet eats about 8-12 ounces each day at daycare.

Wake up at 5:30/5:45AM and pump and get 5 oz from each breast. Total 10oz.
IF LO wakes up before I leave for work at 7:00/7:15 I feed her on my right.
Since I don't have a door on my office and my office is not compliant with NYS laws (douches), I am forced to often pump in the ladies room. So I then have to pump throughout the day and usually get 6 oz (could definitely get more if I did't have to stand in a bathroom stall).
Arrive home around 6:30 feed LO throughout the night.
9:30PM pump again and get 10oz from both L and R.
So impressive! But Violet eats 12 ounces at the most while at daycare so far so I guess I'm providing what she needs too. I would have quite the stash if I was doing that!

oh i so wish i could get the oz some of you ladies are getting. I seriously have days where i want to throw my pump out the window! i hate that thing!!
6am- nurse one side pump the other--4oz
I usually leave this milk in a bottle for my DH 1st feeding.
9:30 pump both sides - 4-5 oz
12:30 pump both - 4 oz
3:30 pump both - 4 oz
then I'm home nursing all evening.
I put the milk in 5oz bags for the freezer and she is usually eating 2-3 times when I'm at work depending on the day and naps.
oh i must keep going.....dont' want to give up!
I work 12 hours shifts at this time and get home around 745 and she then eats 2 to 3 times before bed. I am starting a new job this next week and will work 4 tens so I will see how things change! I will still have to pump the same amount there and am hoping to keep up the amounts. McKenna went through21 oz yesterday while I was gone! She is 14 weeks weighs about 15 lbs and is about 25 inches long!
I only pump at the same times as LO's feedings: 10 am, 1 pm and 4 pm. I usually get 20-23 ounces.
I wake up at 4:30am and pump 5oz both sides. DS wakes up between 6:30-7 and nurses on both sides.
I then pump every 3 hours at work (so 9:30, 12:30 and 3:30) and usually get 6oz, 5oz and 5oz.
I then get home at 6 and feed DS at 6:30 and then when he gets put down for the night which is around 8-8:30pm.
I think I have everyone beat for least amt of milk pumped!
7 ounces total between 8:30-5:30 PM.
I pump the right side in the morning and nurse on the left (6:30 - 6:45ish). I normally get about 5 oz from the right.
Pump the first time at work around 10:00. Normally get 8 - 10 oz.
Pump the 2nd time around 2:00 and get anywhere from 5 - 8 oz.
Pump in the evening after putting Andrew down and get anywhere from 2 - 4 oz.
My hope is to get at least 18 oz a day so I have 3 6 oz bottles for him for the following day. Today I only got 12 oz at work (WTF?!?) and 5 this morning. Starting to really stress about my supply diminishing...
Wow! Some of these totals are amazing!
I pump one side while LO eats at 5:30 - 5 oz
9am - 3-6 oz total
11:30 - about 5 oz
2:00 - about 5
so about 20 ounces a day. LO eats between 12-16 oz at the sitter

I wake up Chase at 7:00 to nurse.
Pump at 10:00, usually get around 8 oz.
I go to nurse Chase over lunch, at 12:30.
Pump at 3:00 or 3:30 again, usually get around 8 oz.
Nurse at home at night.
I'll send Chase to daycare with three 5 oz bottles, though he generally only needs 2, since I feed him over lunch.
If I can't make it home over lunch, I'll pump then too, and usually get another 8 oz.
i pump
6:00am - 3 -4 oz
10:00am - 3 -4oz
3:00pm - 3 -4oz
8:00mm 3-4oz
Haden gets formula at daycare, he won't nurse off me half the time, so i had no choice. But between what i pump and when he will nurse on me, i never have to give him formula when he's home.
i'm trying to increase my production though. i would like to pump aleast one feeding amount each time. I'm drinking water like crazy..it seems to working a bit
At work I pump three times and get 11 oz total. I also pump before work after DS eats and get about 3 oz. That brings it to 14 oz which isn't enough these days so I also pump after feeding him in the AM saturday and sunday. I've been scraping by but I feel soon I'll need to start going thru my freezer stash. I feel a little depressed about my totals but I guess if you pumped much less than I do it wouldn't be worth it anymore.

I get up at 5am & pump both sides - 6 to 8oz
I pump 3xs at work - 9 to 12oz total
Then I pump 2xs in the evening - 4 to 6oz total
I send 4 5oz bottles to daycare & most times one comes home. So far I've been able to pump enough each day for the next day and freeze a few bags at the end of the week.
I nurse DD in the morning then pump within an hour. Output varies but at least 6 oz. She STTN last night and I got 9 even after nursing on one side.
Pump at work at 10, 1, and 4 give or take an hour. I get 4 oz total each time if I'm persistent.
Home at 7:30 and usually nurse immediately. Lately she has been going to bed right after that. I should probably pump again but usually don't.
I nurse at around 6:30 every morning. I pump three times at work.
8:30 - 7 or 8 oz.
12:00 - 4 oz
3:30 - 2 or 3 oz
I nurse at home for the evening and pump once more before I go to bed and get another 2 or 3 oz.
DS eats four 4 oz. bottles during the day. So far I've been able to keep up, but I don't know what I'll do if he starts wanting more.
I nurse him at 6am.
I pump at 10am and 2pm and get 8oz each time for a total of 16oz.
He takes 3 bottles at daycare hat are 4oz each.
I then nurse at 6pm, 9pm and 1-2 times during the night.
5 AM - I pump and get about 12 oz
7:30 - I pump and get anywhere from 5 - 7 oz
10:30 - I pump and get about 6 oz
2: 30 - I pump and get 6-7 oz
6:30 - If I pump, I'll get 4-5 oz (I try to nurse then, though)
9 - 4 oz
Missed m/c at 17 weeks, partial molar pregnancy d&c 11/30/09
lately I've been pumping twice (between 9:30 and 10:30 and then again around 3) while at work and I get about 10-16 ounces between both sessions. If I have time I pump three times..
I pump in the morning before work to feed LO, usually about 7-8 oz (but she usually doesn't take the whole thing).
She eats about 12 oz while with the Nanny so we're all good.
