I am a low yield bm mother who is supplementing my baby with fm once/twice per day. I am trying to let baby latch as much as possible and pump 4 hourly. My baby sucks almost 1-2 hourly with no standard timing/ schedule. Sometimes even shorter interval. Problem arises when baby cries when it's about my time to pump, making me to miss my pumping session. Anybody has the same problem with me? And how do you cope with it?

I can understand your stress and frustrations. Try to stay calm (can be tough but have to try) as stress can reduce milk supply further. Try your best to manage your baby needs and pumping session. Yuna is right about pumping when baby is napping. You can try to take food that is believed to increase milk supply such as dark chocolates, oats and papaya fish soups. You can also try getting Fenugreek capsules from GNC. $29.95 for 1 bottle of 100 capsules.
