What I Pump in a Day

#pumpingatwork #pumpingmilk #nursingjourney #nurse #nurselife

2025/6/14 Edited to

As a breastfeeding mother, managing a milk pumping schedule can be demanding yet rewarding. In my typical day, I pump several times, ensuring that I'm meeting my baby's nutritional needs while also balancing my work as a registered nurse (RN) with 12-hour shifts. My day starts as early as 2 AM, when I pump 5.5 ounces to prepare for the day ahead. After feeding my baby at 5:30 AM, I pump again during my commute, squeezing in a quick session at 6:30 AM for 3 ounces. Staying hydrated is key, especially since my little one has a hefty appetite. By 9 AM, I manage to pump 4 ounces, taking a moment to relax and enjoy my favorite podcasts during this often hectic routine. Midday pumping at 12:30 PM yields 4 ounces to keep up with my baby's needs. Finally, I wrap up my pumping for the day with one last session at 4 PM, resulting in 4.5 ounces, before nursing my baby directly at 7 PM, collecting another 2 ounces from a Haakaa. Across the day, my total pumping output averages around 25.5 ounces, while my baby consumes about 27 ounces. Sharing experiences with other nursing moms through online forums like #pumpingmilk and #nursingjourney provides additional support and insights into this unique aspect of motherhood.

What I Pump in a Day (trying to increase supply)

Supply & Demand is the most important factor in producing milk. Not snacks, teas, supplements, etc. The more you pump, the more you produce. That’s what I’ve learned over 7 months of trying cookies, crackers, gummies, vitamins, teas, etc. all to learn that they didn’t help at all. The more I pu
