Help! breastfeeding and working
I have officially been back to work for a little over a month now and am running out of my stored milk in the freezer. I'm now kicking myself that I didn't start pumping right off the bat. :( I started pumping when she made one month.
I'm a server and work 3 days a week right now. My shift is usually from 11am - 3:30pm. I usually pump once in the early morning before my little wakes up and I get a 20 min break to pump at work...and Sometimes before bed depending on how much she has eaten. Ive only been pumping one side at a time so she can eat on the other. At work I get between 1 and 2 oz and in the mornings I get 3-4 oz. I Find it hard to pump in the afternoons on my days off due to that fact that she's always eating. So my breasts always seem to get emptied.
Does anyone have any tips to increase my supply so I can pump on the afternoons I'm home with her??
I'm gonna be completely devastated if I have to supplement with formula. :(
