Back at work and now a supply nose-dive??

I went back to work a week ago and DS is on formula for half his bottles and BM for the other half.  I always pumped (and nursed sometimes- but less so in the past month) and have had an abundance of milk... but in the past week or so, my supply has taken a huge nose dive, and I feel really guilty and upset about it.

 Any experience with this?  Any suggestions?  TIA!

    Have you checked out kellymom.com's info on going back to work? There is some good info there. I wish I had found it before I came back rather than after.

    Totally normal.  The stress of going back to work & leaving LO is largely to blame.  My supplied tanked for about a week.  I ate a ton of oatmeal and drank ALOT of water & mother's milk tea.  Try not to stress about it (I know - easier said than done!)  it really will get better.  GL!

    This, exactly.
