How long after your last feeding can you pump?

I'm finding that it takes a while for my milk to fill back up. I feed my baby and then two hours later I only get 2oz total.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong or is there something u can do to help produce more/faster?

@KBowen715‌ is that the amount your pumping from each breast or total? I'm also curious about how much I'm pumping.

Sounds like a good amount to me. When pumping for DD1 I never got more than 1oz total in between feedings. after I went back to work and pumped at work I would get about 4.5oz during morning pump, 3.5 at lunch and 2.5oz in the afternoon. If you pump at the same time everyday it should tell your body to make more then. I wouldnt pump after every feeding, that could create an oversupply.

Haven't mastered*, not hint mastered.

I get 3-4 ounces total, both breasts combined, in my morning pump afte he has nursed. Otherwise 1.5-2 ounces total combined each time.

Pretty normal. As hard as it is (I hint mastered it), pump Inbetween every feeding. Your body will catch on and produce more. I pump after morning feed and get 3-4 oz, and only 1.5-2 oz any other time of the day.

This helps a lot. I'm constantly worrying about making enough and being able to pump for a few bottles here and there.
I'm feeding this guy so often that I am afraid that there won't be anything in my breasts when I feed him.
