Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply 19 days of pumping!

Hey Gals,

I've been pumping for 19 days now and I'm wondering how my progress compares to those who are ahead of me?

I'm pumping every 2 hours during the day and once or twice in the night. Right now I'm getting about 15 oz a day. Does this seem normal, behind, or ahead of where I should be?

Would love to hear from others who have gone before me!

Thanks!

Wow - sounds like you are doing great. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Way ahead of me. I did accelerated protocol. I think that's awesome!

Thank you ladies! =) Anyone else out there willing to tell me what their progress was at about 3 weeks?

I'm only at 2 weeks now. I'm pumping 2.5 oz a day plus Breastfeeding with a supplementer 6-7 times a day. So I don't know what he is getting but I'm guessing no more than an oz max at each feeding.

Thank you for sharing your progress with me, Jennifer! It sounds like you are doing great and I am sure your supply will increase quickly because you have your baby with you!!

holy cow !!! only getting 5 mL/day after 2 weeks

I've been pumping a little over a week (accelerated protocol). I'm getting about 5ml/session. But it varies! Sometimes I get that from one side. Sometimes I don't get anywhere near that combined! It sounds to me like you're doing great!

That's fantastic. At my peak I was only getting 6 oz a day (regular protocol)!!! I had to stop for a month because of surgery (I just couldn't handle the pumping schedule or take the dom). I restarted a month ago and only make 2 oz every 3 days.

Good for you!!!
