Find Your Average Refill Rate

A Way to Find your Average Refill Rate 

Per Hour


How to Calculate:


Total amount of breastmilk produced 

in a 24 hour period

Divided By:

24 (hours in a day)


Example - If you make 48 ounces in a day: 


48 ounces

Divided By:

24 (hours in a day)


Equals: 2 ounces per hour


Example Continued - If you pump 2 ounces per hour:


And you pump every 3 hours, then that is 6 ounces you may get in a pumping session. 


Note: Prolactin levels may vary as the day goes on,   so you may get more than 6 in the morning and    less than 6 in the afternoon.


This is a great way to track how much milk you’re producing to make sure you’re staying on target, and producing as much as milk as possible. Results may vary. This is not the same for everyone and this is a way to mathematically think about it if you are a bath lover like me.

My refill rate used to be 2 to 3 oz per hour and now at 15mpp it's 1oz per hour. I saw somewhere you said breastmilk is like your kids multivitamin and it really encouraged Mr to keep at it.

Yes, I think of it that way too when my supply was getting lower.
