Low milk supply?
I’m a ftm so I’m not really sure on these things and wanted to get clarification on this!
My LO is ebf and I usually have atleast one bottle a week that has been pumped, and save it in the fridge for when I go grocery shopping so my husband can feed him.
Well my husband fed him while I was away and I decided to pump when I got home since I skipped a nursing session and like I said above, I like to keep a little milk in the fridge in case I need to go anywhere.
Well when I pumped it had been like 4ish hours since the last time I had nursed him and I only pumped 2.5 oz... total!
all the other times I pump I usually go longer without nursing him and get a lot more so this is a first that I’ve pumped in a shorter time span.
2.5 oz just doesn’t seem like a lot to me at all and now I’m worrying that my milk supply has dropped or is low. I know that pumps aren’t as good as getting the milk out as much as babies are but still..
he usually goes 2-3 hours in between feedings.
I know I haven’t been staying as hydrated as I should (I know shame on me) but does that have anything to do with your milk supply? Because I’ve heard that it does & doesnt..
