Try cluster pumping, instead of a regular nursing/pumping session. Sit down with your baby and your pump, and nurse and pump every half-hour to hour for several hours. Some moms find it helpful to do a 2-3 day long power pump every couple of weeks to "super charge" their milk supply. This is simply a nursing vacation with pumping added in. On these days, get lots of rest, nurse very frequently and pump after as many nursing sessions as possible.

Also, if you don't have the time to commit to a whole day of pumping, nursing, I have power pumped for an hour. Pump 10 min on, 10 min off for an hour, it mimics cluster feeding during growth spurts. It has helped give my supply a little boost when needed. GL momma.

to make it easier, i power pump once a week and instead of keeping track of time, i pump when a show is on and take a break when a commercial is on. I do it for 2 hours..
