Do you feel your milk supply is dropping?
Are you dipping into your freezer stash more and more?
Review the information about work and pumping
, and managing feedings and sleep.
CONSIDER THESE THINGS:
Is there too much milk in each bottle at daycare, so milk is being thrown away?Is he over-fed at daycare? Paced bottle feedings will allow your baby to self-regulate his feedings.
Is your baby drinking very little milk at home, sleeping long stretches at night, and so he makes up for it by drinking more at daycare?
To increase supply, remove milk more times each 24 hours, by nursing or pumping.
Remember, breastfeeding doesn’t have to be “all or nothing.” Some breastmilk is still beneficial.
