So my freezer stash is pretty much gone. I only have about 9 ozs of milk in it. Its not enough for a full day of feeding. I had to give her baby sitter formula.
When I first started to pump I had over supply and it gave LO such bad gas. So I tried to regulate it and I had a normal supply. After going back to work my supply dipped but I was still able to stock up the supply. My DH commented on how our freezer over taken by breast milk.
So today we finally ran out. My supply took a really big hit because I was sick. LO has also been waking up at night and I've been doing dream feeds and when I pump in the morning i only get about 2 ozs. I've been drinking mothers milk tea, taking more milk, eating oatmeal, pumping more at night but nothing has really helped.
I'm not going to give up but if anyone has any advice or has been though the same thing please share your thoughts.
I say just pump as much as you can to get that supply back up and use formula if you need to. Sounds to me like your LO might be going through a growth spurt, which will hopefully help boost your supply in the next week or so. Great work mama
