Power pumping success stories?

My supply recently tanked after another bout of mastitis and also starting the weaning process in preparation for going back to work. I have the goal of making it one more month!!! Starting to power pump at night to try to increase my supply. (Was pumping 2-3 oz per session; down to <1 oz; hope to get back up to 3!!).

Tell me your success stories for motivation please. How long did it take for you to see a change? Thanks!!

    My LC suggested to power pump in the morning, because your supply is greatest at this time of day.  I power pumped every morning for a week.  I felt like after a week of that I started to notice a gradual increase and I now typically pump about 11-12 oz every morning (that is combined from both breasts). Good luck!!
