Back to Work Blues

2 weeks ago I used to be able to provide my baby with enough milk from breastfeeding and only needed to supplement him with as little as 2 oz formula a day.

Now I am on day 3 back to work and I cant keep up with him. 😢 I produced 9 oz today and he drank 16 oz while I was gone! (Day 1 I made 9 oz and he drank 9 oz... then Day 2 I made 9 oz and he drank 12 oz... now Day 3 I made 9 oz and he drank 16 😔 And now Im nursing him and he’s not satisfied, even after supplementing him with an additional 2 oz. So were on track today of supplementing him with the most formula we ever have. From having days where he only needed 2 oz supplemented to a day like today, where he needs 16+ oz supplemented? What am I doing wrong?

Ive been power pumping several times all 3 days so far. Drinking lots of water, taking natal nourish, etc. I could use some words of encouragement. Please don’t tell me to stop pumping.
