My fourth month old is in terrible phase in terms of sleeping and has been waking up every hour since the beginning of December. Needless to say I am not sleeping and have not slept more then a 2 hour long span in a very long time. Just recently I noticed that my supply seems to be lower. Has anyone's supply suffered with the lack of sleep? How do I help this

I haven't had this problem yet, but have you tried eating foods that boost supplies? Oatmeal, lactation cookies, etc?
-
I have experienced something similar. Try taking a ton of fenugreek! Lots of water!!
-
The cruel irony of it all was around 2 months I had OVERSUPPLY.
-
Are you sure it is low supply and not something like a sleep regression?
-
I've noticed a dip lately too... My LO is 4 months as well. I can't figure it out.
let me know if you find something that helps bump up your supply!!
-
I'm always curious when I read about supply lows- do you know because you pump regularly and are seeing a dip?
-
How do you know your supply is dipping? Unfortunately, lack if sleep can affect your supply. But your baby might be hitting a growth spurt or a sleep regression.
If you want to boost your supply, I highly recommend More Milk Plus. That stuff did amazing things fir my supply.

I second the recommendation for More Milk Plus. I used it when I had a supply dip due to illness, and it really helped.

I had a dip around that time (I was only pumping a few ounces each session) and More Milk Plus helped! I took it religiously per instructions and my supply came back. I also ate a ton of oatmeal.
