EP - supply is fading

Filly78

My son will be 9 months this week.  I noticed over the past few days my BM supply is slowly decreasing.  I have been EP since he was a few days old and usually get around 36oz per day.  I'm now barely getting 30oz total.  I'd ideally like to keep giving him BM strictly until he's a year old.  Is there anything I can do to boost my supply until then?

You should ask the BF board. They are awesome. How about supplements? Oatmeal?

That just happened to me and my AF came back, its going back up now though. I EP as well.

Have you replaced the soft parts on your pump recently? They can wear out and get loose, and can impact the amount of milk you are able to pump.

Any chance you're getting your period? I EP and just got my first period last week - my supply tanked, and I had to supplement about 6 oz a day from my stash, but now that my period is over it's back to normal.

Also, from what I've read on kellymom, our supplies peak at about 5 months and then starts to decrease - the consistency of bm changes around 6 months, and as they eat more solids, they need less milk.  So if your son is eating solids, he may not need quite as much milk as before.

Have you tried Fenugreek? 3x3/day

This is a great group for EPers

I second the others of Fenugreek, lots of water.  Try some power pumping?  Do you still do a middle of the night pump?
