Pumping breastmilk
Anyone have any tips on increasing your breast supply?
I breastfeed my 15 week old and was pumping 8-10 oz daily on top meaning dad could give her a bedtime bottle and I could put a feed away in the freezer too.
Recently my supply has seemed to drop, bay is still satisfied after feeds so I know wishes getting what she needs but can only seem to pump 3-5 oz a day if I’m lucky.

This sounds like your supply has now regulated- in the early weeks your milk supply is hormone driven. Baby empties the breast, your body keeps making more. It's why boobs are more easily engorged and leaky. After a while your body adjusts to what baby has been taking and doesn't overproduce as much; it's supply and demand based. Make sure you're eating well and staying hydrated! But I think your amount is quite normal, I would make sure that you are regularly replacing pump parts that need it and ensuring you have a good fit as that can affect output too ❤️
