Reduction?

My daughter will be 9 weeks on Tuesday and I have been pumping and nursing since Day1. On average I have been pumping 30 oz a day but today I have only been able to pump 15. What could cause a reduction like this? Should I be worried? I will pump 2 more times in this 24 hr period. Earlier this week I had one day where it was around 20 oz as well but then the next day it was back to normal. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

Re: Reduction?

  • Change in diet? Stress? Is she eating all you pump in addition to nursing? Pumping 30 oz AND nursing is a whole lot of milk! If that's what's been happening, your body may just adjusting to be closer to what baby actually needs in a given day.

  • Idk why I was pumping so much. She nurses on avg two times a day in between feedings and drinks from a bottle on avg 25 oz a day. I try and pump every three hours and freeze left over milk. She has had no issues with spitup or reflux. My question is is this normal? I am now struggling to get 3-4 oz each time I pump and if it's normal great. I just don't want it to stop all of a sudden.
