Breastfeeding

Please Help with Breastfeeding Question!!

I am a STM and wanted to breastfeed my 1st DS for 12 months, but could only make it to 4 months. I get 8 weeks of leave from my job (which I have to work for my families financial reasons) and breastfed that whole time, but when I went back to work I couldn't produce enough milk with the pump. When I got home at night, while breastfeeding him, I did fine (as long as it was him breastfeeding). I took those natural pills to up your milk, and nothing worked. I would place one of his blankets over the pump so I could smell him (to trick my brain). But I would only get about 4-5 oz all day from both sides together. Does anyone have any ideas so that I can be successful this time around?? I would love to be able to do this for my DS.

P.S. I had a C-Section and will have a RSC this time.

TIA!
