My milk bank

We are EBF and I pump as much as possible for when I have to go back to work (in 2 months). I know my supply will most likely decrease when I go back to work because I will be mostly pumping, so I'm building it up as much as possible right now. LO is 5 weeks as of yesterday, and I have 120oz of stored BM in the freezer! I am proud of my little stash and want to know how you ladies are doing. For those of you who are BF and pumping, how much milk do you have stored so far?

    I have about 325 oz. DS will be 6 Weeks Saturday. I only pump right away in the morning after nursing him and get about 12 oz.

    Holy crap that's a lot!  I am impressed that I can get 3 oz after the morning feed.  I don't have much of a stash but I'm proud that I have some in the freezer.  With my twins, my supply wasn't great and they were supplemented with formula from the start. Whatever I pumped went straight to them so I never had anything to freeze.

    I'm trying to build up a stash.  When do you typically pump?  Is it just once after the morning feed?  There's no way I get 12 oz, that's amazing!  Usually I'm getting around 4oz after the first AM feed if I'm lucky.

    I pump after about half the feedings each day, the side I didn't feed from. I should have a real system but the honest truth is I do it when convenient - but always in the evening and night. I don't know what I'm up to, but have been freezing 20-25oz each day for a while now - we're at 7 weeks pp.

    I tried to go without pumping, but what obviously so uncomfortable when I would wake up...and I can't afford an infection. If I start to get plugged/really engorged I start to feel really sick like the flu... It's happened twice already. I think I naturally have an over supply. With DS1 I donated milk, because I had so much.

    I started pumping last week and I think I have around 50oz in the freezer right now. I pump about an hour after our morning feed and get about 7oz.
