  I pump once in the morning, after I get home from work around 4 or 5 pm and then around 10 pm at night. I also breastfeed some in between while at home. On weekends I breastfeed a lot more and pump twice a day. My supply has been pretty good lately...knock on wood. What I have noticed is that eating a lot of protein....actually just eating A LOT has helped my supply so much. As well as drinking a lot of water. I also eat oatmeal every morning. My goal is to make it a year and I never thought I would say that!

  You're probably not feeling engorged because you're body is adjusting to produce the amount of milk you need. ?

  I agree that drinking more water and eating more protein should help. ?Also, if possible, perhaps try pumping after a feeding and/or on weekends.

  Good luck!?

  Whenever i get little spurts where i can't pump as much milk as usual, i drink a couple of cups of Mother's Milk tea twice a day for a few days.  That seems to work pretty well.
