Hi ladies -
I'm not even home from my first day back, but I know I didn't produce enough.
DD is 12 weeks today, in three pumps I got 3oz, almost 4oz and barely 2oz.
I have a new pump and parts.
DS (who was EBF - including pumping at work) took 3 3oz bottles at this age and I know from experience that Monday was always my strongest producing day.
I'm freaked out
I had to fight for every ounce with DS (including going on Dom) and I am just sick to my stomach that I'm facing that ALREADY.
Thoughts? Advice? Encouragement?
I feel like crying already (yes, I know that's dramatic)

The nanny is new to BF babies but she's been really wonderful about getting educated.
I appreciate your advice and your encouragement. I have been pumping the one side she doesn't nurse from during her MOTN feed so I have a stash built up to help me find a rhythm.
Meantime i try to relax and have faith.
Thanks again!
