How do you increase your BM supply when pumping?

I EBF LO but have a pump and am starting to pump after every feeding. I want to build a "stash" for when I go out or for DH to give LO a bottle at night so that I can get some extra sleep.

Any suggestions? Right now I get about 1.5 oz after feeding LO.

    that's actually pretty good for after a feeding. You could try power pumping-pumping for 10 minutes every 10 minutes for an hour. HTH

    That's what I get and my LC said that is pretty good for just pumping leftovers. You could try oatmeal and/or fenugreek if you want to increase overall supply.

    Trying pumping for 10 minutes an hour after you BF. It will increase your supply. You should see a difference in 3 days.
