ok lactating mommies, Help! I have a 5 week old and produced great until about 2 weeks ago. I have power pumped and I drink lots of water, I nurse when she wants to eat, but my supply just doesn't seem to be coming in. I am really frustrated, I don't want to give it up, but I don't know what else to do.

@sev1226 I stopped pumping, I only let her nurse now. I forget about the growth spurts. ..I am a new mom and it shows lol
I agree, it's probably her 6 week growth spurt. Just put her one when she wants it and your body will adjust. Just make sure you're also not pumping the milk she needs to increase supply/storage. Nature will do its part but if she going through a spurt and you're feeding and pumping then your body isn't recognizing what she needs.
She could be going through a growth spurt. They eat more then.
I was feeding and still pumping about 7oz for the first few weeks....now she just doesn't seem to ever be satisfied.
Why do you think your supply is dropping? If your baby is wetting diapers, your supply is fine.
fenugreek works you have to take a lot. about 4-600mg capsules 3 times a day. takes about 24-48hours to kick in. when your milk,pee,sweat and baby start to smell maple syrup you have the right dose. lol
I am able to feed baby fine but has a hard time pumping more than 2.5ounces so I take fenugeek every few weeks for a few days
fennugreek and blessed milk thistle. I would also recommend seeing a lactation nurse
@mckennasmommie, no worries! I am too. My little guy is 14 weeks so I'm only slightly ahead of you :)
