My DD was find latching in the hospital and then once home and when my milk came in did not BF again until 7 weeks. I went back to work at 8 weeks and have pumping here full time and BF her at night.
I was never really at full supply. I have friends who can pump and get like 6 ozs out in one sitting. I've always been lucky to get 3 ozs or more in the morning and averaged between 1.5 and 2 oz's the rest of the day.
I've noticed in the last week my supply is really dwindling. I'm lucky to get .5 oz out if I pump every 3 hours after my 1st morning pump. I don't feel full or the urge to pump at my 3 hour mark like I used to. I consulted the LC nurse and she said sounds like my milk is drying up.
We've been supplementing since the begining with formula. At first a bottle a day then 2 not it is more like 4 formula bottles and 1 BM and than BF at night. Have you noticed anything like this. I see your LO is 5 months and a mother of 2. Sorry so long. I'm hoping when we decide to have baby #2 I can go a full year. DH wants me to stop stressing about it and let it phase out. I'm at a loss as what I should do.
