I can usually get around 3oz but I still can't keep up with my lo, since she started eating around 4oz last week. I am going to talk to the pediatrician about it at her appointment on Monday. I don't know what else to do, and nursing her doesn't seem to satisfy her either.

Is that 3oz after nursing, or 3oz not nursing?  Because if you just nursed her, and then pump 3oz, that's actually pretty good

Unfortunately not. I switched to EP most of the time because my DD has such a hard bite that I get really bad lacerations on my nipples until they bleed. I still nurse her when I can as soon as I heal, but always have to go back to pumping every few days. So this 3 oz is after not nursing. Usually after I nurse I can get about an ounce total. So not good at all. 

Right now I am trying all I can think of to increase my supply, but I don't know that it will work.
