nursing a preemie
My baby was born at 33wks and spent 10days in NICU. So I pumped every 3hrs to make sure he had milk at the hospital when I was released. I was getting at least 5oz from each breast. Now he's home, I'm nursing exclusively, and pumping between feedings when needed, but now I'm only getting about 2oz per breast. Any suggestions on how to my supply back up our why it even dropped like that.
Thanks y'all. I figured that. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing the goods because this little boy can eat and I really don't want to use formula at all.
Because he is feeding directly off the breast now and taking the supply.
Because you are doing it more often?
