A drop in milk supply doesn't have to be the end of your breastfeeding journey, when you can increase your milk supply with power pumping.
You can repeat this schedule once or twice daily. Also remember that the pumping times don't have to be exact - just listen to your body and make sure to give your breasts a few breaks rather than pumping continuously for the whole hour.
Remain consistent with sticking to a power pumping routine - i.e short bursts, like in the power pumping charts suggested above. If you try to pump consistently for an hour, you're more likely to cause damage than improve your milk supply."If you are concerned about milk supply and want to increase your breastmilk supply then power pumping might be the right choice. Check with a healthcare professional about your supply before trying this." Says Nanette.
Also talk to your midwife, health visitor or GP before trying power pumping - they'll be able to advise you on your pumping routine and even your technique, which may help baby latch on better.
