Hey guys! FTM here, I’ve been EP for my son since he was in the nicu for two weeks and he’s now 5 weeks old. my production has never been great, only getting about 8-10oz a day. The past few days I’ve been trying to pump more often to boost my supply but it seems like it’s doing the opposite. I was getting 3oz combined pumping every 4-5 hours but I’m not even getting one pumping every 3 hours now. Breastfeeding isn’t an option because I have to fortify my breastmilk with formula for extra calories for my little dude to gain weight faster. I am worried I may be drying up or something. I’ve been making sure I’m eating and drinking water. I also changed flange size and that seemed to help production at first.

I am just at a loss at what to do. Should I talk to a LC? Is there anything else I can do?
