Okay so I got my milk supply back up, I now feel a let down at each feeding and my son gets milk drunk after every feeding. My question is, when I pump I only get 1oz out of each side and I pump til nothing comes out. I Rarely pump though it's just for emergencies I want to have some saved up. But is what I'm getting out (2oz) all my baby eats when he nurses?

That's what they say. When do u pump? I've found the best time to pump is first thing in the morning while baby feeds on the other breast. That for some reason promotes flow. I get a little over 4oz from one breast

When I pump during the day I get like 2.5oz at most.

I occasionally pump during the afternoon. I don't pump everyday though. Maybe I should? And he did eat about a hour ago out of one side @alhynele

Why don't u try doing it in the morning :) yeah pumping everyday increases your supply. Do u drink enough?

I'm definitely gonna start pumping in the mornings bc I do feel fuller bc he doesn't wake up to eat at night. And probably not. I forget to eat half the time too. That's probably my problem. I ordered some weleda tea so once that comes in I'll try that I hope it helps some too

I wasn't producing too much but now I'm drinking alot of water and making sure I eat atleast 3 meals a day and I'm pumping about 2-3 feedings worth of milk twice a day
