How much is a normal amount to pump?
First things first… pumping 2 oz. every 3 hours is an absolutely NORMAL amount to pump for exclusively breastfeeding moms.

The normal amount is anywhere between .5 to 2 ounces (for both breasts) per pumping session.
And it’s not unusual to need to pump 2-3 times to get enough milk out for one feeding for baby.
