Hi everyone, wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions that could help me out. I'm a first time mom andI have a 5 month old. I am pumping at work and still nursing at nights and weekends or when she's not at the sitter. I used to be able to pump 6 oz no problem, maybe a little bit more a day while I'm at work, but lately it seems I can barley get 5 oz's and I'm pumping 3 times a day for 10 minutes. We are doing half breast milk and half formula at daycare so she is getting enough. Does anyone have any helpful tips to maybe help get my milk supply up again?? I didn't know if my milk supply is supposed to decrease the older she gets or what?? I've also been pumping the water hoping that would help.
Thank You!!
Re: Milk Flow Deminishing
Also, did you just get your first pp period? That can cause a temporary a reduction in supply. How about decongestants or other new meds they can also bring down your supply while you are taking them.
Let me know what you think.
SCANDAL!
