I was looking to find out what the record for most milk pumped in one session was and found this site also. Well..... this morning I pumped 22 oz in one sitting (25 min)! I did not pump overnight and this is what I got the next morning. My family has named me Else the Cow :). I breastfed my first daughter, not knowing how much she was actually drinking, but my second child could not get the hang of it, so I pump. I am at my 8th month now and still going strong. I did not think I would be able to keep going this long. "I am doing it for my baby" is what I keep saying even though sometimes my boobs hurt for hours. I am keeping my eye on the finsh line, 1 yr. All in all I am very happy that I stuck it out. Thanks for a good read. Boy, did I get a good laugh out of you page Ben!

It is very useful. I am just shocked you wasted human milk. Because of the long fridge conservation, it could have been dangerous for another baby, but it was certainly not for an adult. You could have pasteurised it if you really feared bacteria. So you prefered to drink cow's milk instead of your wife's!! Woman's milk is the best for human species, you should remember.

My baby boy, Ike, just turned a year old, and I've been back at work (and pumping) since he was three months old. Pumping's never fun, but looking at these numbers makes me appreciate what it is I've been doing for almost a year! I'm looking forward to taking a break from pumping (at least until the next baby comes along) at some point, but I'm not looking forward to the end of nursing. By the way, I'd like to recommend a great book about breastfeeding called "Fresh Milk." It's a collection of stories about breastmilk and breastfeeding that run the gamut (it includes the lactating men). It's just a fun and eye-opening read. Good luck with Trixie! Thanks, Jess PS I appreciate the info on the transition from two naps a day to one, as we'll have to do that at some point soon. Dear Ben and Jenn,

I hope the pumping gets easier. I'm not sure what the trick is to getting more per session. I know with Jenn, she would spend about 30-40 minutes three times a day to get around 32 oz. But it took her a while to build up to that amount. I understand that drinking a lot of water helps too. Good luck- Shelley, I’m glad you found the site and it made you laugh.

I was trying to find out how much milk my 7 month old should be getting each day. I was so frustrated with my pumping experience that I was ready to cry or maybe just beat that $200 breastpump with a baseball bat. Luckily your website has renewed my pumping enthusiasm, mostly by making me laugh for about 2 hours. I would like to know how in the world you built up such a plentiful supply of milk? I only get about 2 ounces per pumping session. I found this website when I did a search on breastfeeding. I was trying to find out how much milk my 7 month old should be getting each day.

Of course I'm proud of Jenn, but the bigger point here is that all nursing and pumping moms deserve recognition for all the hard work they do!
