See Photos of the 'Normal' Amount of Breast Milk This Mom Pumps: 'It's OK Not to Pump Gallons'
Caitlin Wilder, a 37-year-old full-spectrum doula in Los Angeles, planned for extra storage while pregnant with her first baby but later realized she would not produce surplus milk. She describes herself as a “just enougher,” making only what her baby needed. After her second baby, she posted a video showing a small amount of pumped milk, including that she breastfed her daughter and pumped 90 minutes later. The video drew many comments and DMs, prompting her to repost it every six months, with viewers reporting reduced feelings of inadequacy and anxiety about supply.
"Wilder made a video showing the small amount of breast milk she had pumped, sang a silly song and posted it on her social media account. (In this particular case, Wilder had breastfed her daughter and used her breast pump 90 minutes later.) She received so many resonant comments and DMs that she decided to repost the video every six months."
