so I'm not producing milk like I was before work. so now I have to pump enough for tomorrow. only problem is I'm not getting enough at all. I ate oatmeal, drink Gatorade and water and I took my prenatal vitamin. what can I do. I'm doing the pump and rest thing but it's only bringing in 1.5 oz or less

@chelsea728, I work full time so I can't pump every 2 hours
I think it can for all different reasons unfortunately. I'd just try as much as you can of all these tips and it'll come back. Make sure you're drinking a lot of water.
Try a supplement like in the morning or during the day just one bottle and then use that time to pump every two hours and put all the milk from that time in the same bottle and do that for a few days to help fill the gap. I hate to offer supplements but I did it once just to keep him full and now he never had to supplement again how old is you child btw
@chelsea728, but he need milk since I work during the week
It will come back just keep doing what your doing you supply drops plenty of times for many reason don't stress it cuz that would make it harder for it to come back just take it day by day
@bianca_rose, can milk just decrease overnight. that's basically what happened
@bianca_rose, I'm doing that now (power pumping) but I don't think it's working for me.
hmm might have to supplement with formula tomorrow like do a bottle with half formula half breast milk. but I'd just try to keep pumping every 2 hrs or so if you can....I don't know if there's much you can do for instant milk supply.
Lactation smoothies doubled my supply, look up power pumping, I heard that works, I don't pump so I can't say it from experience
only problem. is I need it for tomorrow. I'm not going to be able to get that by tomorrow. @mdomke22
@bianca_rose, I'm drinking lots of water but I can drink more
