    For a bottle a day, your one side is enough I'm like you, I pump once a day and get 150ml + in about 4 minutes. I've always had a stack of milk. I too am pumping for when I go back to work 2 nights a week in the new year.

    I find what works best for me is to pump in the morning. I'll feed DD (usually she'll just take the one side, if she takes the other as well I won't pump for that day), and then I'll pump the other side. I haven't tried pumping more than once in a day (aside from when I was EE), but one seems to be enough with my supply

    ETA if you're wanting to store some and a bottle a day, I'd pump twice, one in the morning and one after last feed of the night
