Help, my left boob seems to be drying up 😱 first thing I normally pump 4.5-6.5oz off each side, this morning I got 6 off the right side and 4.5 off the left and it’s been consistently down on the left side all day today and yesterday...
@benny2514, Well I don’t think you need to worry :) supply regulates and you will only produce a certain amount :) increase times you pump and then supply will increase :) it would be the same if he was feeding. From you... he’d feed more often to increase supply :) xx
@beebeejgill, yeah it just takes so long to pump though I’m really struggling to fit extra sessions in, I’ve been having supply issues for a couple weeks on and off he seems to be eating a lot more all of a sudden :/ growth spurt maybe but I’m having to give him formula before bed now because he’s still hungry after drinking everything I’ve pumped xx
@benny2514, Pace feed hun, look it up :)
But yes he will feed more if he’s growing, maybe try fit one early morning if he’s sleeping still :) apparently that’s the best time to pump xx
Try to drink glass of hot water 10 min before expressing, and i drink plenty of black tea+milk... I’m not a big pro but i struggle woth my BFeeding so i had used some tricks to help it out
Expressing isn’t an indication of supply :) don’t worry :) I couldn’t even express 1oz and I breast fed for 2.5years xx
