Not getting enough pumping

Christina_Diane

I don't go back to work until August, so I'm trying to get a freezer stash, but I am having problems pumping. I'm only getting 1 oz combined after feedings, 1.5 oz combined if I pump at night several hours after I last nursed LO, and sometimes I don't even get that.

Keeping DS on breast milk is extremely important to me. Do you think it would be a good idea to go to the LC now? I think that if I do a weighted feeding and then pump after with the LC (and hopefully with a hospital grade pump), that I might get some help. I'm not sure if it is a supply issue, or if it is my pump. I have an Avent Double Electric, but the suction just doesn't seem that powerful. 

I have 2 months to go, and once I start work, I'll only be able to pump 2x in a 7 hour period, which I fear will not be enough, especially considering the fact that I'm hardly getting any milk now.
