almost 6 months and drying up

[@llli*mommyjohn]

Prior to the week I would pump about 15ozs a day at work. LO slept pretty well at night maybe - going at times 5 to 6 hours. This week I'm getting 10 ozs and had to add a pumping session at night to get enough milk for his bottles. I'm pumping at times 30 minutes and barely getting 3oz combined. He is also waking up every 2 hours during the night to eat. He gets a tablespoon of cereal mixed with fruit in the morning and a veggie with a tablespoon of cereal at night. He is now drinking 1 4oz bottle and 3-3oz bottles while I'm away...about 10 hours. I bf my daughter for over a year and had no supply issues. Thoughts?

May some of your pump parts need to be replaced? Or the thing a lot of others will probably say...a growth spurt.

Any change in nursing sessions that might affect your pumping output? (i.e. did he start skipping a night nursing session, or do something to maybe tell your body to drop the milk output)

Check to see if your membranes on your pump need to be changed. That can make a big difference.

Has AF returned? That can also cause a dip in supply.

I use a freestyle and have 2 sets of supplies so one set washing while the other in use. Nope my friend is still on vacation somewhere. I seem to be feeding more at night every 3 hours at least. The week before I was home with him for 5 days so no pumping. Pumped this morning for 30 minutes and only 4 oz. It is so depressing. I used to get 7 oz during that session.
