help! supply drop post night weaning!
my 6 mo old twins are finally sleeping through the night and we weaning them off night feeds (they still have one dream feed around 11pm). At the same time, I weaned myself off the night pumps. Before this, I’ve had a really healthy milk supply and actually struggled with an oversupply. However I’m dismayed that my milk supply seems to have taken a hit now that I’ve stopped pumping at night. I’m feeding/pumping every 2 hours during the day but am finding I’m consistently about 6 oz short each day.
Any suggestions of how to increase supply? I’m trying power pumping, lactation cookies, changed my pump parts and I’m eating / drinking a lot. Is it inevitable that your overall supply decreases once you stop pumping overnight?? I don’t know if I can / am willing to go back to interrupted night sleep 😭
Thanks!
