Breastfeeding help!

I pump and ever since I left the hospital from having my daughter almost 2 weeks ago my milk came in very very full and heavy so I usually can pump 4-5 oz every 4 hours or so, lately I'm not getting milk.... I'm lucky if I get 1 oz. am I drying up? I pump regularly so I don't know how I would be... Has this happend to anyone? I don't wanna formula feed :/

My bfs sister had her baby in august. She was feeding great for about two weeks then developed mastitis and couldnt produce any more milk. NOT saying thats whats happening, but it could be serious, I would call L&D, or your doc when you can.

Not everyone reacts well with a pump. Sometimes you could have a great supply but not be able to pump anything. Nothing works as well as the baby. But if you need to up your supply because you need to pump you can take fenugreek, mothers milk tea, alfalfa, or make some lactation cookies. Also, make sure u stay hydrated.

Mother milk tea works wonders ! And having baby latch on when they can helps u produce more. Remember to eat often and always keep hydrated .
