I have been expressing last thing at night for a few weeks now and always got around 140ml, well for the last few days i have only managed to get 80ml,

Ds has been feeding every hour to two hours max in the day and waking twice in the night for the last few days, he normaly sleeps through.

Is it poss that my supply is decreasing?

He is 19 weeks

No reason it should be.It went up and down for me too.
If he is waking and feeding more it's proabably a growth spurt and the more he feeds, the more milk you will make.

No, unlikely. More likely that you are expressing less at the moment because he is drinking it more often and direct from the source as he is having........

A GROWTH SPURT

Try not to analyse it. Your boobs and baby are a great working partnership!

Oh good i very nearly gave him some formula because i thought i wasnt making enough milk.

Don't be daft. Why would your milk suddenly disappear now after all this time. It isn't vulnerable at all. However, the 4-5 month growth spurt IS pretty evil.

There are probably other things going on too. Have you read ninja's link on the Sept thread?
