Are you sure it's slowing down? After a while your breast tissue starts to adjust to your milk flow and they will no longer feel as hard or heavy.

@yayacarrington, ya bc I only pump I don’t feed him from the breast. I was getting 5 ounces between both now barely two.

How often are you pumping? At one week babies eat every 1-3 hours. So at minimum you should be pumping every 3 hours, including throughout the night. Drink a bottle of water every time as well.

@glencoco, I pump every 1 1/2- 2 hours. I will try more water. Thanks.

@kellywidener820, if you’re pumping that much and water isn’t helping, try a dark beer or Gatorade. I’ve heard those to work well also.
