Day 7 of Pumping (10 days post partum)

I started day 7 with 105.25oz of milk in my freezer.

My pump amounts for day seven were :
6.25oz
2.5oz
2.5oz
2oz
2oz
2oz (but forgit it out, so didn't get to use it)

Total amount in the freezer at the end of the day was 120.5oz, total pumped for the day was 17.25oz, but only 15.25oz got frozen because I was so tired that I forgot two full ounces on the counter. Which should say quite a bit about how tired I was, since I live right now to get more ounces put away for that mom and baby.

Every day I tell myself the goal is to get one extra pump in, get 7 pumps in at good intervals so that I can log an extra 1.5-2.5oz and that will increase my overall milk production. I am seeing an increase now though, but it's still hard to tell myself that I'm doing enough with 7 pumps, since the average newborn is expected to get at least 8 feeds in, in a 24hr time frame. Which means, the average mama is probably increasing her amount much more than I am.

This was another amount record breaking day though, so I'm holding onto that for now.
