    How do you know it's only 2 oz per feeding ?

    If you are getting that much when you pump, then be aware that your baby is much more efficent than a pump.


    I was a horrible pumper, but my lactation consultant said that some women are and it doesn't mean your baby isn't getting enough when they nurse.

    A 4 mo old nursing every 3 hours sounds normal. Is she having enough wet and dry diapers ? Gaining weight ? Reaching milestones ?

    If so, don't worry.
