It's been a couple of weeks now and my supply seems to still be way down. It started decreasing right before Christmas so you had said it could be caused by stress. I have been pumping 2-3 times extra a day and taking More Milk supplements. My baby was a preemie so he takes about 3 1/2 ounces every 4 hours (he's 11 weeks old) and I'm afraid he may not be getting enough. I pump so that I can have an extra supply but each time I do I only get about 1-2 ounces total!! It takes me just about a whole day to pump 2-3 times to get just one bottle's worth to freeze. I'm getting more worried like I said b/c it has been a while like this. What else can I do? |
