This is kind of a split question.
Sucklers, what would be the ideal amount of milk for your partner to make in a day?
Sucklee(?)’s what would be the ideal amount of milk that you’d want to make?
I would love to get back to my volume from when I had my kids – 32/36 oz per day but I am not sure if that is feasible.
Milk volume doesn’t seem very important to me. I just want the intimate connection and comfort that comes from nursing. Enough milk to constitute a light snack would be wonderful, but not necessary.
Ive never had enough to be honest I don’t think I could ever get enough is that weird?
10-15 Oz per day is my goal, Anything beyond that would be a hassle. All my milk now is going down the drain, what’s being suckled is only a small portion of my daily supply. Ultimately, I want to have enough milk for the duration of a session.
Ok did I have over eager sucklers or am I the odd ball out? 🤔
My boys were eager to eat of course and I nursed them until they were 2.
But I would love to get back to my old nursing averages of 24 ounce feedings. (Of course I am bigger breasted)
And before my inbox gets flooded 😐 yes I have a partner and no I am not looking any more!! We are working to getting back to full lactation!!If I remember right, the world record was some ridiculous number like 1.7 gallons a day. I would love to see that first-hand but I don’t think its in the cards. But in seriousness, it really doesn’t take a lot of volume to make the experience interesting. Only just enough to make the breast feel…. alive, for lack of a better word.
I’d be happy with about two or three ounces per session, honestly. Too much means it’s wasted.
I get that. Part of me wants a super oversupplier but that would probably get old fast so I really just would want enough to get some.
AS the suckler i could nurse with out milk and be happy. But if I could choose I would pretty much nurse instead of eat. Mainly because my stomach doesn’t handle food well. I am home all the time so I would be willing to nurse whenever needed and would love a supply that was decent.
But also I don’t want her to have such a huge supply it is wasted.
This is a great question and interesting reading the responses. I’ve wondered about this many times because it’s so dependent on life circumstances and the needs of both people.
It’s something I’d want to decide with a partner because an imbalance would not only be frustrating but potentially painful.
I would be happy with any amount they produced. And would try to be encouraging. As it can be frustrating. As volume can go up and down. I view milk as an enhancement to an already beautiful thing to share with someone.
As someone who’s never nursed on a lactating breast, I don’t know that I could put a number on an amount. I would want enough milk to enhance the enjoyment of the nursing experience, and be sustainable for the both of us.
