BFders or Pumpers

When did your milk come in and/or how much are you pumping?

 

LO is 5 days old and I'm already getting about 2 ounces out of each breast and that with me stopping after 15 minutes of pumping. I don't mind getting so much out since I would like to start a stash and maybe stopping around 6 months and then have him start eating from the stash until it runs out( hopefully it will last him til he is 12 months). I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong with pumping. My breast size is a "M" so I'm sure if that's why I'm able to pump so much so soon.

    I'm also 5 days pp. I've only pumped three times bc we are primarily BFing but I got 2oz per side on the third trial yesterday so that amount seems about right to me.

    Mine came in around day 5 or 6. I can get about 2 ounces from each breast. If I go a while I can get 4

    Just an FYI, if you just have a regular freezer breast milk is only good for about 6 months therefore milk pumped now would not last until 12 months.  If you have a deep freezer disregard my comment.

    The most I've gotten from each breast is 1 oz :(

    My milk came in on Day 3 and I was able to pump a half ounce from each for 10 minute sessions every 3hrs. By Day 5 I was pumping an ounce from each and today I'm pumping 1.5oz from each and pumping for 15min. every 3.5hrs So the amount of milk is steadily increasing while I'm also slowly increasing the gap between feedings.  As DS requires more, I'll slowly increase the time spent pumping while increasing time between sessions. My final goal is 4 pumps per day getting 4oz from each breast like what I had going with DD.  That way my life doesn't revolve around pumping, but I'm still able to build a stash.

    FWIW with DD I pumped for 6 months and had a stash for what I thought would be a year, but it went fast and DD finished it at just shy of 9mo. So my goal this time is to pump 8-9 months and have a stash for the full year.
