Exclusively pumping

Christina

Ive been exclusively pumping since my son was born (12/17/18) due to a poor latch. I was never good about pumping every 2 hours so sometimes I would go 4 + hours but when I would wait that long I would pump at least 3 meals worth for him (about 2.5 oz each) my supply seemed to drop out of nowhere and I’ve been trying to get it back up. I try to not exceed 3 hours between pumping so my body can be in a schedule. I drink lots of water and have also been taking fenugreek. When I pump I’m just barely getting 2 oz each. I’m worried my supply will not increase and I will not be able to keep up with my son when he starts to eat more. Does this seem normal?

I had a drop in milk supply so I started eating 2bowls of porridge a day that helped my supply.. try skin to skin with baby before pumping and see if it helps.. also try pumping every 2hrs as the more you pump the more your milk should build up.. my little girl on my boob every 2-3hrs I pump once a day to build up supply
