Supply dramatically changed
| Mon, 04-11-2005 - 6:58pm |
I really could use your help. I breastfed my baby girl until she was 6 days old. I then started pumping as my breasts really, really hurt when she nursed. Also, my breasts were engorged for the last couple of days. Since then, I've been pumping. However, now my supply is really low compared to what it was (during engorgement). Now, I'm pumping only 1-2oz each time I pump. I tried to pump at the schedule that the baby has already begun (she was feeding about every 2 hours - at night, about every 4 hours). What should I do? Should I continue to pump every 2 hours or should I increase? Thank you - I'm so worried about being able to keep up with her nursing needs. Thank you!
