3oz on left, 2oz on right

7 oz on my right 6 on my left,

2oz on left, 3oz on right. But sometimes I only get 1oz each one. I pump the most at like 6am and the least at like 4pm.

First thing in the morning only after baby feeds. 5oz on the left, 2 to 3 oz on right because that the breast we always feed on prior to pumping.

Is anyone exclusively pumping or are you guys doing a mixture. I still haven't had my little one yet but I know with my first one I struggled mentally doing both. So with this one I'm choosing to just exclusively pump once my milk comes in

@Olivia I was doing a mixture the first few days but today I’ve moved to exclusively pumping because her latch is so bad it was causing me to have a mental breakdown

@Olivia i technically do i just pump and put it in a bottle for my LO i did breast feeding at the beginning but it was hard since she was in and out of the nursery and on oxegyn so she was away a lot in the hospital, she prefers bottles now i assume because they are less work and have more quick flow

Yeah so with my first one it was like mentally draining to do both and then I couldn't tell how much milk the baby was getting so I was even more stressed. I definitely am going to breastfeed in the hospital because of the colostrum but then I am planning on switching to exclusively pumping so I wanted to know other people's experience. I was also an under supplier so as soon as I breastfed I had nothing to pump after every single time.

It's nice to hear that people are doing the same or felt the same way I did
