increased supply

in November 2012 Moms

I EP and I normally pump 30 oz each day.  Last week I could hardly keep up with L (I'm thinking growth spurt) and even had to go into the freezer stash one day to make sure I had enough ready for her.

Well, I've had extra to freeze the last 2 days.  I already have a pretty good freezer stash, but I haven't had extra to freeze since January 16.  I've already pumped 28 oz today and still have one more session before bed.  I'm excited about my increased supply (and to be done with the growth spurt)!

There's really no point to this post, I just get really excited about being able to hoard as much milk in the freezer as possible. haha

    I EBF, but when I pump I get excited about how much I get. Its kind of an obsession! LOL! I just inventoried my frozen supply when I moved it to the deep freezer I bought and I have just over 500 ounces! Tomorrow is my first day back to work, if I can pump what she needs, I'll probably eventually end up donating my stash.

    Ok so what's the secret...what did you do to increase?

    also how many times a day are you pumping?

    I really didn't do too much.  I normally pump 4 times a day, sometimes 5.  Last week I did do more days of 5 times a day since I was worried about keeping up with L, so that could have kick started a better supply.

    I also like to eat oatmeal in the morning.  I've heard that helps with supply.  I probably should pump more often, but 4 times a day seems to work for us, so I'm comfortable with that.

    Increased supply is definitely celebration worthy. You and your boobs get on with your bad selves.

    thanks! I'm trying to eat oatmeal every morning but I'm happy for you and your increase go boobies!
