Well I got a pint today, and she stood good as gold!I guess I got more yesterday as she was engorged, and hopefully it will increase steadily from here. I still don't think it's too bad considering her kid is with her 24/7.Slow but sure

I don't even try to milk my girls until I start separating them from the kids at night then I milk just once a day. I usually get around 4 pints in the morning and always leave some for the kids to have a bit of breakfast.
