Am I drying up???

Question

I exclusively pump I have been for about 3 months. I don't have time to pump as much I probably need to but I am trying the best I can, I supplement with formula when I have to. The past couple weeks I feel like I've been producing less milk. And my breast look like they went down in size. What is happening?

Answer

You should be pumping as often as your baby is feeding. I exclusively pumped for a year with my son. I know it's not easy and it's definitely not for everyone. In order to keep my supply up, I literally had to put every 3 hours during the day and every 5 hours at night.

Answer

I have been pumping for 4.5 months and I have to pump at least 6 times a day but more like 7 to keep up my supply for my daughter.. I try and always have at least 4 bottles worth in the fridge ready to go

Answer

It very well is possible if you aren't pumping enough. Supply and demand. If the demand is low supply will decrease. But you can increase it especially if you pump more or even have baby try to nurse (baby will always get more out of you then the pump will) if this isn't an option then you may just start to supplement even more.
