Low milk supply @ 11 weeks

So last week I was having milk supply issues and my son is only 11 weeks. My plan was to EBF for a year unless he weaned himself off beforehand.

I was engorged early last week, and was able to pump up to 6-7 oz from one breast! 10-11 oz total in a single pump session!

But then suddenly my supply dropped and I was only able to pump a mere 1 oz from both breasts combined.

It caused me to panic because my son was getting hungry and he wasn’t getting any milk from me. We switched to formula temporarily.

Well lately I’ve been eating oatmeal, drinking Mother’ Milk tea, staying hydrated and eating popcorn with brewers yeast on top (not a fan of the taste.)

And guess what? Tonight I was able to pump 5.5 oz! Which is a big difference from the past 5 days! I’m so relieved, I will continue to pump and feed as needed.

Have any of you ladies had a shortage of milk supply? Was there anything you tried that successfully helped your supply?
