Average amount of milk pumped in 20 minutes

“How much should I be pumping?” is one of the most asked questions new moms have.

If you typically breastfeed, it can be difficult to know how much you should be pumping when you’re away from your baby.

On the other hand, you might start out exclusively pumping and wonder exactly how much you should be pumping per session and per day.

If baby is eating around eight times per day, this would average out to around a little over three ounces per pumpin
