  • I'm so sorry! that really sucks!
  • Eh, it's ok. I got excited earlier today b/c I pumped 2.5 ounces (pathetic, I know). But it's all good, at least I got something.

  • So proud of you for sticking with it.  I was getting the same results and it was slowly dwindling and I quit.  Kudos to you for carrying on.

  • Ugh, I totally feel your pain. I had the same problem about a month ago. I would pump for what seemed like forever and only get a few drops. It was weird and super frustrating, especially after bf-ing was going well for like 2 months. I stuck with it though and my milk came back. (Not sure if your supply was good then slowed, or what, but good luck to you!)

  • Thanks, you guys are nice. Smile

    It's not so bad if I can sit here and tool around on the internet while I pump, even if I am not getting very much!

  • I am in the same boat as you sgrl. I get soooo exited if I pump more than 2 oz. It's rough.
  • I applaud you for sticking with it. Thats what I started getting and I said enough it's not worth it.

  • I hear ya girl. I actually stopped BF right around 3 months cause I wasn't producing enough. Now I give her the enfamil with Iron in it. And the transition from BF to bottle was not as hard as I expected, could be the kind of nipples I got....dunno. But hang in there girl. I'm not by any means telling you that's what you should do. Smile
  • you are not alone-but let's keep sticking it out together!!!

  • have you tried massaging your breasts while you pump? it sucks because then you cant do it hands free, but i get an extra oz per breast that way.  and sometimes i appear to be bone dry until i do some massaging...once i manually get the milk flowing, the pump starts doing its job better.
