When I was breast feeding it helped that I ate. And I mean ATE. More food I consumed meant more food my body was able to produce for the baby. I pumped every 2 hours as well (even after baby fed). But I dried up naturally after 8 months anyway :/

@art.rocks yes I have been eating oatmeal, drinking water, & tried the organic mother tea. I usually pump 6-8 oz every 2-3 hours. And I've notice it's been drying up. I'm going to make this cookies today hopefully they help.

That is actually a pretty good pump session! Middle of night is always going to produce more. Have you tried all the tips and tricks like tons of water, eating enough, fenugreek pills etc etc? I tried so many things but nothing seemed to work. With my second I was able to get her to finally match at 8weeks which helped my supply.
