Hi Janine... I remember reading your other thread, I was going to post but never got back there

As for increasing supply... pump often, empty the breast...that's pretty much it... I often find if I let the pump run for say 5 minutes after they have finished I will get a second let down. Also I think if you let it run it stimulates the nipple & that helps increase production also.

I massage before, during, after - whenever, it definitely helps. Also a warm washer is supposed to help although I haven't tried that.

I think you are better off at least to start with to express often, rather than wait longer & hope for double. You might have more after 2 hours, but it probably won't be double, at least that's how it is for me. I certainly have a lot more after 6 hours than 3! but definitely not double.

I guess if I were in your situation I would try pumping every 2 hours or so for a few days - I think it takes a week to increase supply? not too sure, hopefully MR or Barb will pop in & tell us

I increased my supply by 100ml per day, per week by being fanatical about pumping every three hours, and letting them empty & then still running the pump for a bit. No guarantees that will work but it's the best advice I can offer

The other thing is your pump - not sure what pump you are using? but they can make a huge difference (so I am told) so if you were planning to do this long term you might want to look at a double electric pump, just to make it a bit easier again.

Hope it sorts itself for you soon keep us posted!

Little miss is calling, I'll be back later
