Build supply?

First my supply was going up and was great then all of a sudden it's hard to produce enough for baby. I take 2 fenugreek 3 times a day, I eat oats, I drink water, and I even got this nasty powder you mix in water that's supposed to help supply as well. I thought it was all working then all of a sudden it's like my milk is diminishing. What else can I do? I plan to make lactation cookies as well, I just have to get ingredients and time.

Also, how do you manage pumping and dealing with baby? He goes to sleep, I put him down and as soon as I go to pump he wakes up and screams til I get him which makes pumping difficult. He won't sleep in anything only somebody's arms and I want to break this before it becomes a habit, he's only just turned 2 weeks so it's not a big deal yet but I'd like to actually be able to get things done.

Your body adjusts to what your baby needs. Why do u think u have a low supply? Is your baby not gains weight? Not enough wet/dirty diapers?

You could pump on one side while he feeds on the other. Typically moms make enough for their LO's without intervention, have you talked to a lacatation specialist? Have they dismissed you with low supply? How old is you LO? How often do you feed??

It sounds like you've tried everything for milk supply. The only other suggestion would be to try the supplement thistle. I pump after putting my LO to sleep. I sit on my bed where he is laying down. He's used to the noise now and sleeps right through it. My LO always wants to be held as well. He cries when he wants to eat so I try to feed him whenever he wakes up. He always falls asleep after.
