i've ebf since lo was born and in the past few days i've noticed that my supply is bombing.  today is the worst.  i usually pumped 2x each day, once in the am and once in the pm and got about 4-5 oz/boob.  i am now pumping once every 3 hrs and getting 2 oz at the most.  i just got 1 oz each.  i'm so upset.  why could this be happening and what can i do??? tia.

    you can't really judge your supply on what you pump, because if you are nursing it's possible your LO is just having a growth spurt and is draining you more.  but you can try taking fenugreek and power pumping to edge up your supply a bit more. check out www.kellymom.com and also google Jack Newman's site for help.

    It's normal around 2-3 months. Your body is adjusting your supply to match what the baby needs so pumping is becoming harder (your baby's still getting plenty).
