Ok mom's, I need help! I have been EBF my son, and for the past week I have noticed my supply decreasing. I pump twice a day and barely getting any milk out. What can I do to get it to increase again?

On the pump, not much. Guarantee he is getting plenty at the breast but pumps have such a significant drop off.

@kambam thank you! I go back to work on monday so unfortunately i have to pump to give his daycare milk, but yes while I'm at home with him i just feed him from the boob

Keep pumping & feeding regularly. It’s like supply & demand. Also make sure you’re well hydrated, I used to drink a gallon of water a day when I was EBF. And I swear by Mother’s Milk tea.

You can try and take some heat packs with you for while you pump. Might help. Breast massage while pumping, staring at a picture of him or watching videos of him while you pump can help too.

@olivbee yes I drink tons of water, but I know the past 3 days i haven't drank much. I need to try this tea were do you get it? And how often do you drink it?

@kaitlinl20, Target, Walmart, Amazon all sell it. It’s by the brand traditional medicinals. I would have 2-3 cups when I noticed my supply was lacking. One day I was barely getting anything when I pumped so I filled my liter bottle with it & drank it all evening at work. By the time I got home, I pumped 8 oz from one breast in like 10 mins
