DS is 12 1/2 months old, BF still going strong. He's a little milk monster [fond mummy emoticon]. He was almost exclusively breast-fed until over 9 mos, and is now eating solids, not a huge amount but it seems adequate, and nurses several times a day and throughout the night. (We co-sleep.) He last nursed this morning around 6 am, then I had to get up and go to work. It's now 1:30 pm in my time zone, I have just finished work and desperately needed to pump. So I did and I pumped 5 1/2 ounces (nearly 170 mL) from my left breast !!! The right was fairly prolific too (4 oz/ 120 mL) but I was gobsmacked when I filled the Medela storage bottle on the left.
I normally get 3-4 oz per breast when I pump during/ after work. Eating habits haven't changed.
At first I thought I could go home and pump there but then realized my boobs were so full they hurt and had to pump before leaving work.
What could cause this huge increase? I mean, I'm not complaining, but wow. Any ideas???
