Increase milk supply after almost drying up

Hi mummies! Unfortunately I went back to work two months ago. And unfortunately after I went back, my supply dwindled like crazy. My routine was that I would pump at work once during lunch at 1pm, and then once I got home by like 6pm my baby would latch on. But after a while, work got so busy and I had missed my lunch pump. I thought by baby latching it would continue to stimulate it, but it wasn't enough as my supply continued to decrease. Today I tried pumping but only managed to express like, 20ml for both sides :((( Any mummies had been in my position but managed to successfully increase your supply? Any tips on how I can continue to pump during a busy day at work (I work in a preschool setting)? And what would be a good pumping schedule I can follow daily? Food-wise I know probably would go back to taking 100plus and legendary milk pills religiously, but any other food tips? Any sharing would be good. Thanks so much mummies!

Hello, fellow moms! I faced a similar situation when I breastfed my first baby for the first three months. When I returned to work, I began pumping milk but noticed a decrease in supply. After consulting my Gynae, I discovered the drop was due to not pumping frequently enough. Dr. Law Wei Seng provided helpful tips and solutions. I highly recommend visiting a Gynae Clinic for expert advice. For easy reference and appointment booking, check out my doctor's website. https://www.drlawweiseng.com.sg/ Hope this information is helpful. Stay healthy, and happy breastfeeding!

Hi. You can consider boiling some red dates plus dried logan to drink. Can also add brown sugar cubes. There are convenient ones out there which is suitable for working moms like us. I dissolve one cube in a cup of hot water every morning when I’m in office https://s.shopee.sg/8zo74TL1GT Oatmilk helps too
