Ds is now 12 months old and is having 2 feeds a day, 1 from me in the morning and i express at night as i'm not home at bed time.

I used to be able to get 3 to 4 oz, now i'm lucky if i get one is this normal?

He is still keen to bf and so am i.

Get thee to kellymom.com or a doctor for domperidone if nothing else works. It was brill for me after power pumping and other things like fenugreek, putting baby to boob etc as much as poss didn't work.

Is there any reason you can't dreamfeed your DS when you return? In addition to the expressed feed?

It may just be you are under the weather. If you've gone back to work are you too tired?

I have just got over mastitis and also my dd has just started school, i'm not used to the early mornings yet.

If you've just got over mastitis this may be causing the lower production - your boobs may be a bit bruised and bashed about. Keep going and it will probably come right in a few weeks
