How many ounces should I be getting every time I pump?
My daughter is a week old and I’m breastfeeding her.I’m new at all this breastfeeding stuff.I have a manual pump.Every time I pump I’m only getting half ounce to maybe one and half ounces.I feel I should be pumping more than that.I have a friend that just had a baby and she is pumping like 4 ounces every time she pumps.So is there something wrong with me or am I doing something wrong?
I would not be pumping this early. If your baby is nursing as often as she should (about every 2 hours or more) you aren’t going to have time to pump.
Just nurse your baby. In another 3-4 weeks you can pump if you want/need to.
But to answer your question, an ounce at a time, esp. if you’re also nursing often, is great, esp. with a cheap manual pump.
My micro-preemie 13 ounces!!!
