I have now been pumping exclusively since October. Since then, my milk supply has increased um, like 10 fold. I am VERY VERY thankful for that-even though pumping has been put on my top ten list of things I never want to do again. I have been able to freeze 20-25 oz of milk a day. That is over and above the milk I'm providing for Skittle. Just before Christmas, I had so much milk that it was literally falling out our kitchen freezer and so we went and bought a 7 cubic foot chest freezer-just for breast milk. That is now almost completely FULL. I think I have around 1800 oz of breast milk in that freezer. I've decided that I'm going to stop pumping when Skittle turns 6 months old. I'm pretty sure she'll have enough milk to last until we move this summer.
That my friends is a lot of milk!
