Pumping decrease milk supply ?

I started pumping and storing milk and I've noticed today that it feels as tho there's nothing in my boobs anymore for the baby. I pumped hours ago and I haven't had any issues BF so far. I usually have a good milk supply . Anyone else having this problem?

    I worry about that too. But even when my boobs feel squishy and soft my LO still produces wet/dirty diapers. He's been eating more frequently so I haven't had much chance to "refill" and he seems happy for the next 1-2 hours until he eats again. And remember babies are better at expressing milk than the pump.

    If you're pumping right after baby eats, you should empty the breast. You'll have enough before baby eats in 1-2 hours. If you're worried you can block feed. Let baby eat from the same breast for three feeds and pump the other breast. Does that make sense?
