He went through about 40 ounces a day, but his mother wasn't able to nurse him. She asked me to donate, and I worked out a system where I would pump one side dry in the morning and Josh would nurse out of the other side. I was amazed at how much milk I could get out of the one side. Most days I got 8 or 9 ounces, but there were some days I had to quit pumping before I was dry because the bottle wouldn't hold any more milk. There was at least 10 or 11 ounces in there. I was shocked. I haven't tried that since, but the whole supply and demand thing works. It actually took a while for me to wean myself from that morning pumping after I stopped donating milk. Several mornings of being VERY full. :)<BR/><BR/>Good for you, Rixa. That is really great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-84678251347875605262007-03-02T16:56:00.000-05:002007-03-02T16:56:00.000-05:00The couple came by last week and picked up everyth...The couple came by last week and picked up everything I had in my freezer. The baby should be arriving any time now. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I could get that much after normal daytime feedings, but I always have extra in the morning. Must be a result of nursing somewhat less frequently at night than during the day. <BR/><BR/>When I first started expressing, I could only get a teeny bit. I've gradually built up my supply since early January.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-38567678479411192112007-03-02T16:38:00.000-05:002007-03-02T16:38:00.000-05:00same here! at 3 months, I could get maybe an ounce...same here! at 3 months, I could get maybe an ounce or two... but you know my struggles with supply.
