Hi Starry,
Replies to your question:
Reasons for reduce in SS could be lack of sleep, lack of water, stress, body tired etc.
1. i would advise if possible, don't offer Jadelyn FM unless she cries down the wall after long period of latching. When your milk supply is low, all the more you want her to keep latching. is tough for her cos she needs to keep sucking and draw milk out. Baby has this natural power to make our body produce milk even as we are direct latching. keep changing sides if one breast can't produce enough. if you can pump out 120ml normally, means your baby can draw out more than 120ml. cos pumping will not fully drain your ss.
2. if through direct latch, you can feel increase in ss as early as 1 week. if by pumping, will take longer 2 -3 weeks. i know some mummies take 1 month.
3. i m not sure if that will affect supply. drink more water, milk, milo, take oat will help in SS. eat well, rest well and sleep well will help too.
if i pump before latch, i don't pump after baby's feed.
