Milk supply - haakaa pump

My LO is 2 weeks old and I’m breastfeeding and using a Haakaa to collect some breast milk for my boyfriend to use for one bottle at night. I was getting an ounce at a time with the Haakaa within 10/15 mins but the past two days I’m barely getting anything out of either boob using the Haakaa. I’ve just had it on for 40 mins and only got a few drops 😪 LO is still feeding well and seems satisfied. Anyone got any ideas?

Have you been drinking water consistently? I find my supply drops on days I haven’t had at least 2.5L of water. Also how’s your eating been? Again my supply drops on days I haven’t eaten properly! All the best x

Also try to rest besides making sure you eat and drink enough. Today I felt absolutely drained all day and it really showed as my supply today was almost half what I got yesterday

Thank you both, I am trying to drink a lot of water but maybe because of the heat I am a little dehydrated. Mission today is to drink a lot more water and try and get as much rest as one can - with a newborn! X
