I normally only deal with infants who are home, so don't do any  
hospital management of pumping and am away from home and don't have  
access to resources right now.
My daughter had a preemie 11 days ago and is pumping.  Her supply has  
stalled out about 15 or so ounces a day and is even dropping some.   
She is pumping with an Elite both at home and in the hospital to a two  
hour schedule, 24 hours a day.  Her milk was slightly slow to come in,  
she was on mag sulfate and her blood pressure is a bit high still.
I don't know if this is a normal amount, stall or drop or whatelse she  
might try to keep the supply building.  She is so far way ahead of the  
baby who is on about 12 cc of milk a day and not digesting all of that  
either.
So if anyone has any ideas how I can encourage her with this or how to  
increase supply or even if this is completely normal, I would  
appreciate it.
