If you pump after BFing LO

How much do you get?  I am going to have to be gone few days coming up and I'm trying to get a stash to leave for DS, but when I pump after I feed him I'm lucky to get an ounce!  The last two mornings I have pumped after his first feeding of the day (like 3 or 4 am), and maybe get an ounce.  Ugh... I'm never going to build up any extra.  How are you compiling your stash?

    I am the same way. I pump after his first morning feeding, and I get 1-1.5 oz. I find if I wait half an hour I get a lot more than if I do it immediately after. 

    I don't have a stash at all, because it takes 3 or 4 days to make 1 bottle's worth.

    I started pumping once a day (after first morning feed like you) at a about 2.5 weeks and would get about an ounce or an ounce and a half.  It has gradually increased over the last two weeks and now I get 3-4 ounces usually.  I have a few bags frozen and my husband does one bottle feeding every other day to get Grayson used to the bottle before I go back to work :)

    Good idea waiting a little bit.  I value sleep though... and I try to get it all done as quick as possible! :) Lol...  I will try waiting a bit.

    That sounds about where I was when DD was that age. Now I can get 2 or 3 ounces after her first morning feed. She does STTN which helps.
