What's a Good Amount to Pump per Session?

It is typical for a mother who is breastfeeding full-time to be able to pump around 1/2 to 2 ounces total (for both breasts) per pumping session.

How much does the average person pump per session?

Every session is different.

Many people aim for or expect to pump 4-8 ounces per session, but this is a large amount and is typically only produced by people who have an oversupply, respond especially well to a breast pump, or have worked to build milk supply by pumping.

How many mL should I pump per session?

If you're exclusively pumping, on average, you should try maintain full milk production of about 25-35 oz. (750-1,035 mL) per 24 hours. It may take some time to achieve this target, do not worry about hitting this on day one! Babies may take more milk from the bottle than when breastfeeding.
