Feeling inadequate
I'm 15weeks pp and my milk production has stopped increasing. I'm barely producing enough to keep up and we've had to start supplementing with formula. I feel like I'm failing at this. Any other moms out there dealing with this?

Is baby BF or are you pumping? Baby can get more from direct boob than a pump can. Also, pumping from 4am-9am will yield the most output so set a timer and for a couple days pump 4am, 6/7am and 9am, power pump, 10m on 10m off*3, and at those times, it should increase within a couple days of doing that. As the day goes on we produce less and less and after a couple hrs sleep we get the most milk aka 4am.
@GMF I'm BF when I'm with him and pumping at work, I'm hardly able to make enough to send to daycare for him
@Kellie both, pump at work and BF at home

Are you exclusively pumping? Or what makes you think your supply has dipped? If you’re pumping make sure you’ve changed your pump parts recently.
