...and I'm very proud of myself.  My baby is 19 days old and I just counted my freezer stash.  I have 322 oz in there.  All I can say is MOOOO!  Smile

    So Jealous can you please give some insight as to when you pump vs nurse?  I had such trouble nursing my daughter I had to stop I am gonna try again I hope with success but nervous.  I always got confused for when to pump/nurse and pump or just nurse..

    Likewise. I have a pathetically low supply.

    I've just always had a lot of milk.  The first time I pumped I ended up with 10 mL of colostrum and it has just gone up from there.  I now pump every 3-5 hours for 15 mins with an electric pump and end up with between 8 and 18 oz of milk.  We're still working on the whole nursing thing...Zoe doesn't want to latch and I've only gotten her to latch on 4 times so far.  So while we're working on that I just offer her the breast but end up giving her a bottle.  The only problem now is that I'm running out of freezer space.

    Wow! That's impressive.

    I pumped yesterday since I was having latching issues and wanted DS to have breast milk regardless of how she got it, and I "only" got 3oz between the two breasts. I suppose that's not horrible since she was only born on Wednesday.
