are you eating enough? if you aren't then your body will stop producing milk to make up for it. your daughter may also be eating more so that makes it so that you get less after you feed her. i'd try eating a little bit more though (i know, not what you want to do 3 weeks pp)!

jena is right. Also make sure you are drinking enough water. Try to have a 8oz gla__s of water every time you nurse.

I didn't pump yesterday for fear of not producing enough for her to eat. Today i pumped and got 3 oz. i am eating 3 meals a day and a snack in the evening, i drink water throughout the day. Any one know how to boost milk supply?

Try asking your doctor for a Rx for something that will up your supply. I know there's something out there that increases bm production!

Try blessed thistle or fenugreek...both are herbal supplements available without a prescription.

Nurse as often and as long as possible. That was the very best advice I got. Keep pumping if you like.

Avoid artificial nipples. Let your baby suck for as long as she wants on you. The sucking stimulates milk production.

Hey Missy! I don't know if this is the same Missy I know..well today i went to the pediatrician and we were just talking about this. He said that after the first month many mothers forget that they are supposed to drink a lot of fluids and that this slows down the milk supply.. also he told me to after nursing the baby to pump until my b___sts are empty...that way the body will know to make more..I hope this helps... :)
