Building a stockpile...
| Thu, 03-07-2013 - 1:37pm |
FTM and I am currently exclusively pumping, wondering how everyone would suggest building a supply in the freezer. I pump every 2-3 hours, producing on average 3-4 oz each time. I have about 8 feedings bottled in the fridge and 15 feedings in the freezer, everything I pump now is going to just maintaining the supply in the fridge. Should I cut down on my supply in the fridge or do I already have enough in the freezer? My son is 3 weeks old and I am a SAHM, just want to make sure I am producing and storing enough to keep him satisfied :)

Keep pumping every 2-3 hours and you should have no problem building a supply. I have been Eping for 7 weeks now and I have more than 1200 oz in our deep freezer. Not sure if this will help you, but here's what I do: I keep 6 bottles ready in the fridge (5.5-6 oz each), plus an extra 8 oz emergency milk. Everything else gets frozen for later.
