I need advice on how to keep up my supply! It has dropped dramatically in the past month, I used to be able to pump enough for my daughter to make up for the previous day while I'm at work. Now I pump 2 20 minute sessions and I get 2.5 ounces a day😔 I've been taking fenugreek supplements and taking my prenatals. She eats from the breast just fine and seems satisfied, I just can't pump very much so she has mostly formula throughout the day. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pump more often. Its supply and demand.. If you don't pump more your body makes less.

What pump do you have? How often do you pump? Are you keeping up on water and healthy foods? Kellymom.com has a bunch of great suggestions for upping supply and pumping advice too :)

I only get 2 breaks in my 6 hours at work. I also feed her right before I go and right when I get home so it's every 2 hours :( @wiccanmommy

I have a medela in style I think, I feed her right before work, then twice in 6 hours so every 2 hours, then feed right when I get off. I try to drink a bottle every pumping session :/ @kmally

Do you pump after each nursing session? That can help too.

I got the mirena in November, I didn't think that one effected supply too much through my research @autumnrae
