Hi Radhika,

As you were asking about how much milk we r getting while pumping, thought i will reply about mine. Because i am back to work, I am trying to pump every day at the same time.During night time he is drinking from me. So I am not puming at night. Moring before leaving to office I pump and I get around 8 to 9 oz from both breasts. After noon durig lunch time, I am pumping 5 to 6 oz. Again I pump 6 oz in evening. After 8Pm in the night, I am feeding him directly. This is how i am doing. I hope everything works out fine.

When are you going back to work ? Do try bottle and regular pumping minimum 3 weeks before you start working. My baby got confused with bottle and breast for a while. They need to learn drinking from both. Do plan for that. OK take care

radhika replied. Thanks for the info anu..never tried morning pumping since anu(anushka same name in short :)) is very hungry early morning...so don't pump..looks like u get a good output, to date have pumped only in the afternoon evenings. hopefully will have enof..how much time do u spend in office to pump..hoping this doesn't take long, i pump at home for 10-15 mins and stop..i use only one pump.

Bottle hopefully will not be a prob becoz we have used it during doc trips. prob i know my MIL will face is getting her to sleep, so cannot leave her alone so don't get time off..she loves to browse around the house and gets up with slightest sound, now me and MIL take turns to be with her.. thank God night time she is an angel and sleeps well or else i would be a wreck in office. not much of a bother since she is playing or sleeping but have to rock her cradle/the bouncer if she moves..
which doesn't give much free time..:)
now trying to leave her in noiseist room so she gets used to noise and putting her down often, improving slowly..but still hope gets better in a month.
Hoping all goes fine..all th ebest to u too...u seem to be doing gr8.
take care. love to ur little one
