Pumping issues

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
I used to get 3 to 4oz in 15 mins of pumping with my Ameda purely yours. Now I'm only getting 1.5 to 2.5oz. I'm working more and my son is eating more now, so I would really like to pump more at each session! My pump seems to work fine, I feel like it's the letdown that's the problem. Could it be my increase in work is too stressing to my letdown? I will be working less again soon, but this summer will be back to more days. I'm hoping to keep nursing for a year and he's only 5 months now. I hope I can resolve this issue and am not drying up. I only give formula at bedtime and always pump once he's asleep. I had to supplement per peds orders. My son had dropped from 24percentile to 8 not losing weight, just not gaining quickly enough.

    It sounds like we might be in the same boat.  I've been exclusively pumping pretty much from the get go.  My supply tanked once I went back to work at 4mo. 

    I've asked around at work, and I'm hearing that this pretty much happene
