I would pump each for half an hour, then hand express for about 20 more mins, and get maybe an ounce or two. Not enough. Caused me a lot of anguish.

So you're saying y'all's milk never dried up??

My mom remembered breast feeding. LOL At least 5 yrs. She said GM would be sitting in a chair and she would walk up and raise her arm to nurse. GM put soot out of the fireplace to break her.

Sure did. After two full weeks of breast feeding for hours at a time and still supplementing formula, bubba had only gained one ounce. Doc left and came back with 6 cans of formula. I even went to see the lactation consultant, no dice. I just never had enough milk. So I did what I could for a month, hoping they'd at least get some colostrum, then switched to full formula. Happened to each kid.
