"I think my supply is dwindling!

"I think my supply is dwindling! I only managed to pump an ounce today" This is something I hear and read a lot, especially on social media. .

First things first - Your pumping volume is not truly indicative of breast milk supply. . Breast pumps are great and in many instances essential so that women can go back to work and even have a well deserved evening out! . Babies are much better at drawing milk from the best than pumps are, simply but the way their jaws are designed and the suckling mechanism. So just remember if your baby is feeding fine and gaining weight but you pump and only a few drips come out or you can't get more than an ounce or 2, don't panic! What I've done in the past if I am preparing to go out in an evening is to pump more often a couple of days in advance so that I have a nice little supply ready for when I am apart from my baby. . . . . . . . . . #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedwithoutfear #normalizebreastfeeding #normalisebreastfeeding #lactation #pumping #milk #milkymomma #freethenipplemovement #food #breastfeedinginpublic #momlife #mumlife #workingmum
