Have you by chance been dieting or anything similar? My supply dipped majorly when I cut calories (even when I was still eating 2400!), could it be something like that? Also, my supply dips right before Aunt Flo makes an appearance.
Hi! I was also an over producer at the beginning of my pumping journey (at least 10oz every 3 hours starting at day 3 pp) and my supply recently dropped as well. I'm down to about 6-8oz every 3 hours and nothing I can tell has changed about my routine which is super frustrating.
Thank you so much for all the help ladies. I’m in a Mom Facebook group and they suggested checking my pump parts. Turns out that was the problem. I ordered new parts and they should be arriving soon. Have a good night.

I've been struggling to produce since the beginning. I'm 6 months pp and now my supply is dropping but what was working is, power pumping three times a week at least every 10 days. Making sure your flange sizing is correct. Getting baby to latch even if it's just for a moment really helps. Everything else in my opinion doesn't work. I've tried all the products that claim to help boost supply, I've been eating lactation bites since I gave birth and I've tried looking at pics and videos of him while pumping, none of that stuff helps. Now, every body type is different so I also highly recommend seeing a lactation consultant, who can help you with your own unique individual needs.
