So it seems as though my supply has decreased or my PIS pump is malfunctioning. My son is 4 1/2 weeks old and I have been pumping daily since week 2. I was pumping a couple of times a day but he is awake more and demanding my attention more and I am only pumping once a day. There have been a couple of days where I didn't get to pump at all. For a while there I was getting 3 - 4 ounces at each session but this week I am only getting 1 - 2 ounces. DS has been eating more often which I attributed to a growth spurt. He is gaining very well as he is 11.5 lbs.
Is it possible that skipping pumping for 2 days has caused this much of a decrease? Could it be something else? Is it just that he is eating more and therefore there is not as much to pump? What should I do? I would like to store no less than a 3 ounce serving.
TIA!!
Sarah
