Same with me. First pump of the day is around 6 and then all pumps after is between 4-5 ounces

I only have one working boob lol and I make about 2oz. So that tracks

I do twice a day, 5-8oz each time, during the day I breastfeed atleast once, during night till like 8-9am i breastfeed him to for like 3times

Me too. I EBF Sometimes i get so scared she isnt getting enough because i cant produce more than what i am pumping right now which is a little over four oz but seeing the comments on this post that its normal makes me feel better

If exclusively pumping (or away from baby), normal production is 1-1.5oz per hour since the last emptying. So if you pump every 3 hours, normal would be 3-4.5oz. If pumping in addition to nursing all day, it’s normal to only get 0.5-1oz total all day.

That’s great! I can only produce about 2 MAYBE 3 oz total at a time. I’m literally a “just enougher” and it’s stressful 😭

I pump about 10 ounces every 4-6 hours but my 4 month old eats 6 in a half ounces every 3 hours

If you are exclusively breastfeeding 4oz is all the baby needs! You milk changes it supplement due to the babies needs for example. If your baby is lacking a vitamin let’s say vitamin D your body will make sure in the next feed to add vitamin d from your body to baby! Your body will thicken the milk or lighten it depending on what baby needs and the amount of oz doesn’t effect how much your baby needs to feel full or fulfilled. However… what’s always worked for me was eating oatmeal with oat milk and drinking lots of water! Coconut water helps Too!

I am on milk producing pills and mainly bottle feed. I get about 17oz a day in 7 sessions ( 2.5hours of pumping )

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps:
"It's common for breastfeeding mothers to pump varying amounts of milk, and producing a little over 4 ounces at a time can be normal, especially at 4 months postpartum. Many factors can influence milk supply, including hydration, nutrition, stress levels, and how often you nurse or pump. If your baby is gaining weight well and seems satisfied after feeding, your supply is likely adequate.
If you're concerned about your milk production, consider increasing the frequency of pumping or nursing sessions, as this can help stimulate more milk production. Have you noticed any changes in your baby's feeding patterns or weight gain?"

not really. Sometimes she cries after she finishes a bottle like she wants more. But weight gain is good Dr says
