milk supply dropped tremendously

I had been a low supply mum. Ever since I went back to work, my milk supply dropped even more. I am working at the reception, sometimes I can't leave my desk on time or when it gets busy. Currently I get about 80ml when I pump 5hrs apart. If I try to find time to pump more, will my supply comes back?

Yes the supply can increase again, but it requires a lot of commitment to eat and drink well, and also pump a lot more frequently. Just my personal opinion here, don’t stress over this. Just do your best, and top up with formula if you need to. Whatever milk you pump out will give your baby some vood antibodies, and the FM helps top up for the nutrition. You’re doing a fantastic job juggling work and breastfeeding already:)
