How much is your girl drinking per bottle?
1ounce=30ml so our production is more or less the same. My girl is drinking 5ounces/150ml per feed X 4 feeds when she's at infantcare = 20ounces/600ml per day. (3 hours between each feed). Like you,I express total about 12ounces at the office so always have a shortfall. So far, touch wood, have been able to supply the 20ounces every day by:
*pumping at night after she sleeps.
*if she doesn't wake up for a night feed, waking up and pumping anyway.
*pumping whenever she doesn't want to feed.
pumping in between feeds on weekends (haven't been v successful on this).
*drinking plenty of cow's milk and soy milk and the nursemaid tea (main ingredient:fenugreek)
*drinking plenty of water.
*eating plenty of fish and (trying to) eat well generally.
*drinking white fish+young papaya soup.
*getting as much rest as possible; and MOST IMPORTANTLY
*doing yoga and other exercises to relief stress cos I realise that whenever I'm stressed (including over my milk supply
), my milk supply drops like a stone. Whatever works for you. (I dont like shopping so I exercise)
If all the above fails, ask your gynae or your baby's paedi to prescribe 'domperidone' or similar medication (Domperidone encourages production of prolactin - this is the milk production hormone or enzyme). Not an over the counter drug in Singapore. Must have prescription.
