Just to add to the mix, I pumped 2+ OUNCES, yes ounces, the day before my
second son was born, I was trying to stimulate labor.  I didn't have a
nursing toddler at the time.  Now with this birth I didn't need the pump,
had a toddler... I remember laughing because he pulled off the breast two
days before Ellie was born and he had colostrum running down his chin.  With
my first son my milk took 5 days to come in.  Second son 2 days pp, this
baby.... she wasn't even 24 hours old.  Interesting how we never think about
these things until we enter this field!
