Maximum amount of milk a woman can produce?

Answer 1

That's impossible to say. A woman's body produces milk based on what is used. If a woman has twins, she will produce enough for twins, etc. It's a supply and demand sort of thing!

Answer 2

Since each woman is different it is hard to tell the amount a woman produces. And also it depends on how often you nurse your baby. So there's really no maximum amount of milk you can produce.

Answer 3

Before delivery a woman starts to make colostrum so that it is available at birth. The baby will have only colostrum for the early period after birth. Colostrum differs from milk in composition and concentration. Milk comes in 1-4 days after birth, and it varies from woman to woman. A woman will produce milk according to the needs of her baby. It is determined by demand. A woman can adequately feed twins, so it is quite possible to produce significant quantities of milk. I am not sure if anyone knows a "maximum" production.

Answer 4

I have very small breast (34b) and I pump for my baby. I make 12 ounces in the morning, and eight ounces every 3 hours until 10 pm., when I shut the milk shop down until 7 in the morning. I make close to 45-50 ounces a day. I freeze most of it because my baby will only take 5-6 ounces every 4 hours. She's 3 months old, and I don't beleive in breastfeeding, so I got a good Ameda pump to counter the balance. She gets what she needs, I don't get icked out by a baby sucking on me. Works for me LOL!! hope this helps.

Answer 5

Women produce however much their children need. If you have multiple children nursing, you produce more because yourbody is called to produce more. And the body doesn't stop producing mil after the child reaches a certain age. She stops producing milk after her children stop nursing, even if they are 3 or 4 when hat happens.

Answer 6

A womans body is designed to produce enough. Enough for twins and sometimes triplets. I know a woman whose niece died when her baby was a month old, her own child was about the same age. She nursed her own and pumped for the other for several months.

Answer 7

there is no maximum, provided the women is drinking enough water and eating enough calories, all women can produce milk to feed any number of babys, you can breastfeed triplets or more as long as you do it exclusively you will produce more milk untill you have enough.

even men and non pregnant women can produce milk to feed a baby, (or more than one)

Answer 8

It has nothing to do with breast size. Smaller breasts just mean that they cannot hold as much in so they have to be emptied more often. Same amount of milk, but you'd have to breastfeed or pump more often since your breasts would be full more often.

Answer 9

pump your breast and measure it keep journal with the info and you will answer your own question. all bodies are different i can get 6 oz at one time from my right and 4 from my left my child nurses on the right more often thus it makes the most milk

Answer 10

Most women can produce 4 0z. per breast every 3-4 hours. Best wishes
