I have found that I really have to relax when I pump. If I am stressing out I never get much. I have to get comfortable, put on the tv and vow not to watch the bottle :) I also had trouble in the beginning and was devastated that I had to supplement with formula at first. My daughter lost 15% of her weight on 5 days before I gave in and agreed to supplement. My OB gave me a prescription drug called Reglan which helped boost my milk supply. Perhaps ask yours about it. Funny enough he said he wasn't convinced that it actually worked, but we were willing to try anything (like I am sure you are), but it certainly did work for me. I tried not taking it a couple of days and sure enough those days it dropped off. You don't have to take it forever either, once you really get a good supply, you wean off it gradually. My milk is just fine now with no drugs or supplements. Remember to drink lots of water too! God bless and good luck.
