Where is my milk going?

lunurse2007

Over the last week my milk supply has been slowly going down... I EBF DS and usually only pump once a day (I usually feed him for bedtime around 8- 8:30 then I pump around 10 or 10:30 then go to bed and he wakes up to eat around 5am).  I have been getting around 4-5 ounces total at this pump session but this past week it went from 4 to 3.5 to 3, then tonight I only got 2 ounces total!!  Where is my milk going?  DS has been STTN for about 2 weeks now, could that be what's causing my supply to drop?  I'm so frustrated because I was really starting to build up a good freezer stash for when I go back to work in 2 weeks!

Are you getting enough fluids? If you've been pumping for the same amount of time every time, it shouldn't really have gone down on its own. BUT small fluctuations like this are very normal. Maybe you're about to get AF or you've been more stressed than lately? Try not to stress over it; stress -> supply tanking.
