NEW DS is drinking more than i pump!
So i was trying to get DS ready for daycare and have him get used to drinking from a bottle...now that he is, my feeezer stash has gone from a 2 month supply to now i only have a stash from yesterday and whatever i pumped today! He drinks 5 bottles of 5-6 oz a day and i pump 5 times but 2 of my pumping sessions is only about 3 oz each session! I have been taking the more milk plus and stared that 2 days ago and eating oatmeal in the morning...he nurses in the middle of the night if he wakes up and in the morning when he first wakes up...
What should i do? I have pumped after he nurses in the morning but thats 4 oz from one boob and nothing from the other that he nursed on...does this mean i should be looking foward to formula like really soon?
I hate that i have to go back to work...because of that, thats why i stopped nursing him so much! Grrrr!

Re: NEW DS is drinking more than i pump!
This happened to me, too. Well I had a fair freezer stash when I started work, but pumped enough for one bottle or less while I was away (and she drank 3!). I ate oatmeal like a fiend, drank mother's milk tea, took fenugreek, but nothing worked I had her take one bottle of BM and two of formula. I wish she could have had all BM, but there wasn't much I could do. Keep trying and follow the advice of the more successful pumpers and hopefully your results will be different than mine.
