I've been pumping once a day almost since Shane was born, but now when I do it I only get about 2 1/2 to 3 oz of milk where before I got like 5... does anyone know why?
And the pumping is starting to hurt my nipples. Ive been using the lanolin before and after I pump in hopes it wont irritate them too bad. I wish I didn't have to pump... but I work 3 nites and have do it there. And I pump once in the morning to store up for while Im at work. I heard pumping in the am is good since you have more milk then.
Any suggestions?
You might do better hand expressing. Breasts just don't respond well to the pumps after a while.
