My milk supply seems to be going down. This started in the evenings but we're having probs with some daytime feeds too now. Ds2 is only 2mo and I was hoping to bf him for ages (as ds1 has an intolerance to cow's milk and soya and I'd like to stop this happening again).
Any recommendations apart from fennel tea and using a breast pump to stimulate the breasts more?
Ds won't stay on the breast for long if he's not getting any milk, he just pulls off and cries, so some evenings I've fed him a bottle of ebm and then expressed when he's in bed. But it's so hard to express the same amount of milk as he's just taken. Last night I only managed to get 80ml and then decided to go to bed as it was after 11 and I need my sleep too!
btw, I have also tried alternating breasts every couple of minutes during one feed as I seem to remember a mw saying this was good for increasing supply, but I don't know if it has made any difference.
