I’ve gone back to work and my daughter is drinking more than I’m pumping…help?

  • Posted on January 4, 2010 at 2:08 pm

I’m a teacher and I recently went back to work. I have three times a day I can pump (at my two recesses and my lunch break.) Problem is, I’m getting only 8 oz or so all day and my daughter is drinking 10-14 oz during the day. I really can’t pump anymore during school. I’m already pumping after feedings with her to try to increase production, but I’ve been doing that for 3 weeks now and it doesn’t appear to help. I even got a hospital grade pump and that’s not keeping up with her. She’s also just started on rice cereal (she’s 5 months old) but that didn’t appear to lower her intake of milk. I’d love some suggestions. Thank you :)
I’m not really wanting to give her formula. I’ve gone through 5 bouts of mastitis and if I didn’t give up breastfeeding then, I’m not going to do it now just because I’m a working mom. If I just can’t find a way to produce more milk, I guess I’ll supplement some with formula, but it’s a last resort choice for me. My daughter has horrible reflux and breastmilk is more easily digested that formula which would cause more projectile vomiting cases.
