I personally have days when I dont get as much, but I try not to worry about it because stress also affects suppy. I drink an extra glass of milk and eat more oatmeal and take my prenatal vitamin and usually it all balances out by the end of the week.

@MsLipGloss: I had same issue. I ended up giving up pumping because the stress of not pumping enough plus work stress was too much for me.

I went through the same thing, and I let is stress me out (especially since LO was starting to increase the oz. she ate), but I tried (as much as possible) not to stress-as it can affect your supply. I also read that being cold (I live in Wisconsin) can negatively affect your supply, so I made sure to wear an extra sweater while at work to stay warm.
I started eating more oatmeal, protein, taking fenugreek (3 cap. 3x per day) and drinking mother’s milk tea. This seemed to really help my supply and bump it back up to where I feel like I'm not falling behind am I feel confident in keeping up with LO.
Hang in there-you’re doing great!! It may take a few days or a week to get it back up, but have confidence in your body!

I have a very stressful job too. Some days my supply takes a hit. I remind myself that fluctuations are normal and I try not to stress.

When my supply dips, I drink crazy amounts of water, eat oatmeal, and trying not to stress so much. I keep reminding myself that I'm doing the best I can do and that is all I can do. The more I can relax the easier it is to pump. Easier said than done, but it really works!
