Is this normal

[AveenoBabies]

I am 3 weeks postpartum and I have been pumping and breastfeeding. So this morning we decided to see how many bags I have frozen. I have 88 bags frozen (all between 4-5 ounces each) and we do use some bags so my hubby can feed him. Is this normal for 3 weeks postpartum?

This is the photo I took this morning.

Hey I too am 3wks postpardum! And I have over 200 oz pumped as well as feeding and dad feeding what I have pumped! Glad to know I'm not alone!! But tip to save space, lay your bags flat... I find I'm not running out of space as fast laying them flat.

I think you probably have an oversupply which when your Eping isn't a bad thing. congrats on the stash!

I was told an over supply is a bad thing and to avoid it. Is that true then?

I'm a bit jealous. From someone who didn't take advantage of the oversupply in the beginning. I'm down to 7oz frozen at 6 months. Keep it up!! But like PP said, lay your bags flat to save space. I saw someone else on here recommend using a gift bag in the freezer and it has worked for me. just cut a slit out of the bottom so that as you stack your new bags in the top to freeze you can easily pull the oldest bags from the bottom.

As long as you are comfortable and not drowning baby when they're nursing I wouldn't worry about it.

My mom had told me to try to avoid it because she had so much milk. As soon as I started working I wished I hadn't listened to her though.

I just hope that we can get a bigger freezer soon. I am running out of space because of how many bags I have in there and our freezer is tiny.

Well in the beginning I was pumping whenever my boobs were hard or when I felt my let down so I was pumping every hour or two plus feeding my son that is how it got so high I think. But now I pump as I feel like I need to but yesterday morning I pumped 8 ounces and an hour later when I was hurting I pumped again and got another 11 ounces. This morning I pumped 12 ounces at one sitting but my milk seems to get lower during the day.
