Decline in milk that’s pumped
My little one is almost 4 months. She breastfeeds for almost every meal, except for dinner. Dad gives her one bottle a day which she takes no problem. When she was 2 months old, I pumped like crazy and could produce 1-3 oz in one sitting no problem. Around 3 months old, I started to notice it becoming more and more difficult to get the milk out when pumping, as if my boobs became immune to using the pump. I know the milk is in there & I know my little one is getting enough, but why isn’t it coming out? Pump sessions now only result in 1/4-1oz tops!
Has anyone had similar issues where it’s become more difficult to pump the milk out around month 3-4? Does anyone have any tips or pointers?
So far I’ve tried:
-hand expressing
-drinking tons of water
-eating tons of oats
-dark beer
-lactation cookies
-mother’s milk tea
-pink stork tea
-fenugreek capsules
-pumping right after all her feeds
