I have gone back to work 3 days a week. After two weeks I noticed my milk supply was low...I had been able to pump 5oz at a time and now I can barely get 3oz. Can my paranoia about running out of bm affect my milk supply?
Try to add in longer pump sessions, if possible, take a pic of LO to look at while pumping, try to relax while pumping, massage your breasts while pumping, and nurse nurse nurse when at home. GL!
