Milk question

I jver felt like i had a good supply to begin with....

Long story short past few days to week i couldnt nurse or pump frequently. And when i did it was not alot.

If i go back to my normal schedule will my supply build up again or is where im at now the best its gonna be?

Milk question

How long have you been nursing?
I would continue your routine & your body should accommodate your demands after a day or 2. Something similar happened to me. I tried to diet & after less then a week my supply was cut i half. I started eating more (healthier) and after a few days my supply was back to what it was. Make sure your eating healthy fats whole grain carbs fluids proteins..

Im a lactation counselor so hopefully I can help

Your supply will go back but only if you stimulate more frequently. Try power pumping (pump for 5 min and off for 10 and continue)
Try to pump/nurse every 2H until your supply comes back. Shouldn't take long. Message me if you have any questions.

Re: Milk question

The same thing happened to me this past week! I increased my frequency of pumping & ate more food & my supply is back up.
