Just keep putting her on the boob and eat oatmeal in the mornings

Following because I'm 8 weeks pp with twins and my supply is not consistent at all

Stay hydrated as well drink lots of water!

Lots of water. Keep feeding baby. And pump. :)

I’ve been eating lots of oats and drinking a body armor every day as well as lots of fluids and greens! Really helped my up my supply and keep it consistent!

Mother’s milk tea helps a lot as does eating and getting lots of sleep.

Did you get your first period? That can cause a dip.

What makes you think it’s low? Pumping isn’t a great indicator unless you’re exclusively pumping. If baby is gaining weight and seems happy and full after eating, then you’re doing ok.
If pumping output is suddenly lower, try checking your flange sizes. Your needs can change as your body acclimates pumping. But it could also be that baby is getting more out right now and there’s not as much to empty via pump.

used to pump 2-3 oz each breast now I can barely get 1/2 🥴

had it last month around the 16th maybe cause I’m close??

It’s super common to get a dip in supply with the hormone fluctuations from your period! I would just stay hydrated (make sure you’re getting electrolytes) and try not to stress about it. Don’t feel obligated to buy a bunch of cookies and supplements, the only guaranteed way to increase milk production is to remove more milk. Reducing stress and staying hydrated are the most important things. You could also try putting a sock or something over the bottles when you’re pumping and watch a fun show or play a game so you’re not fixated on watching the bottles to see how much you’re producing. Breathe in for four seconds, breathe out for 8 seconds. That sends a signal to your brain that you’re safe and can help your body relax. Good luck 💕
