I don't know if this is in the right place, I just guessed as I am still technically breastfeeding....
I started expressing my milk on Monday as I had really sore boobs due to lo being a bit rough with them. At the time I was also having oversupply problems, so was able to get about 4-6oz from each breast at a time. I've kept on expressing as it just makes life a bit easier as it means my oh can feed him. I'd like to keep expressing.... but my supply seems to have dwindled to nothing. Now I'm lucky if I get 4oz in total from both breasts.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be? If anything, my demand should have got higher as lo is starting to take more at each feed and so I need to express more often. And can anyone give me any ideas how to improve my supply?
