Two Weeks Past

Today is day 14. I pumped over NINE ounces in day 13 and I have met my goal of pumping 1 ounce per session. For the past few days, I have been pumping every three hours instead of every two. I’m much happier with this less vigorous schedule. I also let myself skip a pump at night so that I can get adequate rest. My goal for the end of week 3 is to be pumping at least 1 ½ ounces per session, while I am tentatively hoping to pump 2 ounces every three hours by the end of week 3.

     It’s hard to believe that it’s been two weeks already. When I first began this journey, I could not imagine it would pass by so quickly. The first day was the hardest. I felt so discouraged by how little milk I was producing. By day two, I saw a slight increase, and from then on my milk doubled every few days. I feel that I have been so lucky to be this successful. I’m really satisfied with the progress we have made.
