Pumping Trouble - Advice needed

Amanda

Hey Ladies,

My son was born June 15th at 36 weeks. He is home with us now but he's on a high calorie diet so I'm not suppose to nurse him. I'm pumping about every 3 hours but I'm barely getting an ounce out of both together every time. He is taking formula which is basically driving me nuts. I have to fortify the breast milk but in a day I barely have enough for one feeding. I need help. I can't figure out if it's my pump or me or both. I'm drinking as much water as I can but I could probably drink more. I pump with him around but because he can be a bit clingy I can't pump when I'm feeding him. I don't know what to do. I'm basically at wits end. I have the Medela Freestyle. I thought it was a good pump. So many of my friends had great success with it.

If you can offer any help I'd really appreciate it.
