Pumping and supply

Has anyone had a dramatic increase in milk supply then the next week drop drastically? If so what helped you get back the supply or overproduce? I’m drinking the tea and taking supplements and drinking body armor as well, my body is just barely keeping up with my sons needs and how frequent he eats. The formula we’ve been trying to supplement with makes him throw up both formula and the breast milk so I’m trying my best to stick to milk. Any suggestions?

Supplements can cause your supply to decrease instead of increasing. Hormones (like a period coming) can cause a noticeable decrease in supply. HOWEVER its completely normal and natural to only produce what your baby needs.

Increase the amount you pump. When my supply drops I go from pumping every 3 hours to every 2 on the dot and power pump between 1 and 4 am and it brings my supply back within a couple days.
