But i was still leaking so i desided to start back up again, willl i be able to get enought milk supply back up? I have been feeding and seem to be getting more but will i make enought to save my milk by pumping? what can i do?

Keep nursing as often as possible, especially at night (when prolactin levels are the highest.) Pump as often as you can. You absolutely can regain your milk supply - and you should!

Are you asking if you can get your milk supply up by just pumping? Or are you asking if you can produce enough milk by just pumping and never putting the baby to the breast.
If you are just pumping you need to pump every 2 hours during the day and 3 hours at night. Try to bring the baby to the breast every feed first. After about 4 days you should see a great improvement in your milk supply.

You sure can! It may take some work but it's very possible. The more your baby nurses or you pump, the more milk you'll make. Try nursing or pumping every 2 hours for 24 hours and see if that doesn't help bump your supply back up. You can also talk to your OB about taking Fenugreek or perhaps a prescription medication that will increase your supply

Good luck!

Yes your supply will go right back up as long as you keep emptying your breasts.

Your ability to pump enough milk to store has nothing to do with how much milk you have only how well your breasts respond to that particular pump.

absolutely. Just keep nursing and pumping.

dont stop breastfeeding
well eat
its makes the milk for your babys
