Well, here's what happened ..
My daughter woke up at 5:30 am (normally gets up around 3:30 am) - she fed on left breast for 8 minutes. I woke her up at 8 am (to begin our day) - she fed on right breast for 5 minutes.
I pumped the right breast because it still felt full after her feed and got 1.5 oz. I then pumped the left breast and got only 1.5 oz!
How is that possible? I'm certain she gets more than 1.5 oz at a feed - she was weighed after a (left breast) feed a few weeks ago and took in about 3.5 oz. So how could I only get 1.5 oz when it should have been full (last feed on that breast was over 9 hours ago)? I know the baby can pull more than the pump - but does half the amount seem right?
And how could I get the same amount out of the right after she fed (mind you I realize, it was not a full feed - I don't think she was hungry enough after eating at 5:30).
I'm confused!
On another note .. because of the short feed at 8 am she wanted to nibble again at 9:30!
Should I feed her from 3 hours from the 8 am feed or from the 9:30 feed?
