Guys I'm almost exclusively breastfeeding and my supply is drying up what can I do I'm so scared of losing my supply I'm using my dosage of fenugreek to 2 tabs 3 times a day and I'm pumping when I don't breastfeed and my breasts feel like they're engorging but like I said I'm not producing a lot help

if baby is wetting diapers, and gaining weight then your OK. sometimes babies pull out more then we can pump. some people just can't pump. if baby takes bottle I would still pit baby to breast for 10 min then bottle feed. your body needs the stimulation. good luck!

Pumping isn't an accurate way of telling your supply. I didn't respond to a pump. I had baby weighed before an after a feed and he was eating 5 ounces each time and I could only pump a few drops at a time. A lot of women can't pump. As long as baby is having wet diapers and gaining weight good that's all that matters. I obsessed over how much my son ate until I realized my body can do this and stopped stressing and my breastfeeding relationship was so much better. Fenugreek can actually hurt your supply so be careful taking it. Be at way to up your supply is drink tons of water. Like at least a gallon a day and nurse on demand. Every single time baby fusses, nurse.

make sure to drink lots of water and make sure your baby has at least 6 wet diapers a day. if that's the case they're definitely getting enough. I can't pump more than a half oz a day but my lo has plenty of wet and dirty diapers so I know she's getting enough milk
