So has mine. I’m looking into this lactation stuff that’s got great reviews it’s called legendairy.

How much are you making? Drink a lot of water if your not already and just keep putting baby to breast anytime she is hungry and make sure she is having enough wet diapers. I had times I could hardly make 2oz per breast and made it past a year.

I exclusively pump. I used to get 6 oz every 3 hours but now its dropped down to 2 oz every 3 hours. I drink 5-6 bottles of water a day.

At her age she shouldn't need more than 3oz so do not give up! I never made more than 4 at a time but I know pumping is different. (I heard power pumping and more often works) Try oatmeal or try a lactation cookie recipe online. Have to make sure your getting enough calories. Everytime I attempted a diet while breastfeeding my supply dropped so I could not even lose weight lol

My daughters doctor said she should be taking 5-6oz by time she's 4 months old. She currently takes 5 most of the time. I think that seems to be the problem. I just started dieting and that's when it dropped. Today I've pretty much ate whatever and snacked like crazy and I'm back up to pumping 4-5oz all day

that's a formula fed child and not accurate with breastmilk, I would do some of your own research but a breastfed child usually never needs more than 4oz per feeding. Think 1oz per hour so if they eat every 3 hours they need 3oz 4 hours 4oz.

I don't know but my daughter is still hungry after 3 oz so I feed her til she's full. They were concerned about her weight so maybe that's why her doctor said she wanted her to be eating 5-6oz by time she's 4 months.
