Mommies I have a sudden dip in breast milk production. What can I do to restore supply? I was getting a good 100 ml - 150ml at each pumping. Then day before yesterday I did not get to pump very well and empty the breasts nor pump often, I felt engorgement in one side. I applied warm compress & immediately started regular pumping.The production that breast went down yesterday & I could draw only 50ml from both sides. I kept pumping every 2-3 hours all day yesterday and I could get 50ml per session. Today the production of the other side has gone down too frown emoticon

Try cluster feeding.. and keep pumping at least 3-4 times a day with a gap of 3-4 hrs.. your milk should come to a good flow.. one n half month old baby requires a feed every 2.5 -3 hrs.. The more u feed.. the more your body will produce.
