Hi! I am 5 weeks PP and producing 25-30oz/day pumping 7-8xday. I would like to start a freezer stadh to stop early or (depending on how things go) have enough to give my LO past a year. Will my supply possibly increase or is it pretty set??

Thanks

Since it is still pretty early, you should be able to increase you supply.  It could happen naturally or you can add things to your diet that can help.  Check out the beginners guide located under the Roll Calls & Introductions for more information about what you can eat or take to help increase your supply.

Supply becomes established in the first 12 weeks and is different for different people. I maxed out at around 32oz and was able to make enough to feed my daughter and eventually stash about a month's worth in the freezer to take her to 13 months. You are doing everything right so far, and you may see an increase, or not, depending on your personal biology. As the previous poster suggested, the beginner's guide can give you some tips for increasing supply. Good luck, and good job so far!!

I am 12 weeks PP now and I am making about 10 - 12 ounces more than what I made when I was 5 weeks PP. So, in my experience it is possible to increase it. Like everyone here said, check out the beginners guide. I pretty much did everything they suggested to do and in upped my supply.
