How does supply increase?

Question

As baby gets older, does your body begin to produce more milk? Or do I need to be doing more pumping seasons to increase it? Currently pumping 3-4 ounces each session every 3 hours.. my son is 8 weeks. Just started exclusively pumping on Saturday.

Answer

If you are only pumping you will need to increase pumping or even power pump to increase your supply to match what baby needs. Your supply is basically supply and demand. When a baby starts eating more your body produces more, but that's provided you're directly breast feeding. Your pumping has to mimick what your baby would be demanding.
