So, my dc is just 8 months and therefore has 3 smallish solid feeds a day.
I am back at work and can therefore bf overnight, morning and evening. I would like to continue as am freelancing and therefore will be home again all day in 3 weeks (have done 5 weeks so far). Dc feeds maybe 3 times overnight.
I express at lunchtime and until Wednesday this week expressed 5oz in that time and could do more (and this pretty much kept dc going). Since Wednesday its suddenly dropped to 1oz, 2 if I'm lucky.
My question is, why has my supply dropped so much? I do express in a stressful atmosphere and also dc has started cutting down a bit, but I am now scared that's the beginning of the end and once I finish work in 3 weeks there'll be nothing left. Any advice gratefully received.
