because the baby is on supply n demand i dont think no one knows how much any woman has. i breastfed my daughter 4yrs ago n i breastfed my son who's only 15 months old. it all depends on how much you drink and eat as u need 2 keep your fluid intake up as the baby is taking it from you. if the baby shows signs of distress then he/she might not be getting enough (like my son was not getting enough), my answer was to mix feed, milk during the day n breast at night then he went on to full bottles and he is thriving now. also it depends on how u feel too. hope this helps.

The breasts create milk according to the demands put upon them. But, there is a large fluctuation between women and it does not depend on breast size. Some large breasted women make almost no milk. I have one family member who is basically flat breasted but produces lots of milk after birth.
Drinking LOTS of fluids, eating a well balanced diet, and getting as much rest as possible certainly helps each individual create as much milk as possible. And, make sure the breasts are pumped "dry" after the baby is done suckling. Remember, more demand...more milk.

That depends on how much the baby needs. Your production increases and decreases by the demand.
