Why would my milk supply go away when I'm actively breastfeeding around the clock and pumping?

could you possibly be getting sick?

I don't think so. I don't know why I'm not filling back up. I still have milk, but I can't get enough to pump since yesterday

@crunchymomma,

It's possible that your body has already regulated your milk production to only what your baby needs.

also I make it a habit to carry bottles of water and drink water all day, but if I forget to do that for a day or two my supply seriously dips until I drink more water again.

Will drinking milk help it back up too? @crunchymomma

@rylansmomma, milk won't help water is most important if you want a good supply

Thank you @mrsmoore I'm also trying to pump, but both breasts are empty and have been all day and I don't think I'll make more in time to feed him :/

She's right milk isn't exactly hydrating. so drink water or something like Gatorade or powerade, or even smart water which has electrolytes in it

also, there's no such think and as empty breast. when. baby is hungry, milk will be there.

@rylansmomma, never had problems with supply. But I drank a Gatorade and boy or boy i had to pump more frequently that I usually do.

Thank you everyone. I guess it's just gonna be a long night of breastfeeding and I'll be up all nigh feeding. @crunchymomma @nurseriri

You have to make sure you eat and drink A LOT

And stress/depression can effect how much you produce as well. I had some hard times with my daughter and keeping enough milk coming at times when I didn't drink enough or eat or was stressed

He's fed 5 times this hour and as soon as I lay him down when he goes to sleep he flips out and start screaming. Usually he goes to sleep pretty easy, but he's not having it tonight @norarodgers

He may just want to be held. My daughter always slept on my chest

That's where he is right now lol @norarodgers

lay him down rigggghht next to you. put your face next to his so he can feel mommy. and hush him to sleep or reassure you with him. he loves mommy's touch
