I was unable to get much milk out during those 3 days. Luckily, the weekend approached and I fed him like crazy over those 2 days. My period stopped and my supply started to come back. However, it's not where I want it to be. I'm barely getting enough to send to day care. Which is making me feel so bad that I can't provide enough for him during those hours. I've started drinking more water, mother's milk tea, and eating oatmeal this week. When should I start to see my supply jump back up? Is there anything else I should/could be doing?
Thanks for listening ladies!
