Trouble pumping?

posted 26th Jun '12
I will be going out of town in a couple weeks and my son will have to go to child care for when we do activities I have been pumping to save so I can take it with us for when he has to go to child care. I used to get 5ozs from both boobs(2.5oz each) but now I am only getting about 3ozs total (2ozs from one and 1oz from the other) When he is eating from the breast he is content and fine but I just can't seem to pump enough for him :/ he is very unsatisfied with the 3ozs (take from bottle) but satisfied with the 5ozs. Is there a way to up my supply for pumping? I have been trying to pump every hour but that's not working to up it. (the lactation lady at WIC told me to do this)

Hiking, a baby can come.
I guess I wouldn't be engaging in activities where it'd be inconvenient, he's still really little. They don't recommend bottle feeding until 3 months at the earliest.

I'm not taking him hiking up a mountain. Were going to a camp, and I doubt it will hurt him to give him a bottle the couple times he will be in child care.

I hiked up Mt. Washington with a baby. It's not that ridiculous.

I don't feel comfortable hiking with him.

I wasn't producing any milk due to being away from my baby and in the ICU for the first week of her life, when I got out, my friend told me to make corn meal gruel. Yep, corn meal gruel. It is actually not bad- and I GUARANTEE it will increase the amount of breast milk you make. It helped me to produce, but my child never ended up wanting to latch, and I was so disheartened I gave up. Here is how you make it- boil whole milk, add corn meal till creamy texture is achieved, add butter, and top with more milk and raisins. Try it for a week, and let me know if you produce more milk- I swear it works. I ate it for breakfast every morning, but it is more effective if you eat it twice a day I guess.
