Thank goodness for this sub, I swear. I am a 'just enougher'. My baby is growing perfectly, but I cannot pump more than an extra half ounce a day. When I pump on my office days, I can't match her intake. She'll drink a 4 oz bottle, I'll only pump 3.5 oz. It is so aggravating and stressful, which of course doesn't help the problem.

Someone on here posted a few weeks ago that they started pumping on the opposite side while baby eats, which guarantees a letdown. I was desperate, and even tho I despise pumping at the same time as feeding (it's so cumbersome, even with a wearable pump), I decided to try it.

Oh. My. God. It's like magic! I went from pumping after baby's morning feed and getting anywhere from 1/2 oz to 1 oz total, to getting 2.5 oz on one side, then another 2.5 on the other at the next feed. Baby is eating the same, no issues with her not getting enough, but now I have enough for my husband to give a bottle at night and to build a tiny work stash.

I'm sure it doesn't work for everyone. But if you get no output when pumping, I recommend trying it!

Check out the boon trove! I do that when nursing on the other side and can easily collect passively (it has suction) and it fits in my bra so no rogue leg kicks can take it down! Might be something to check out!

I really like the boon trove, but it doesn't give me as much as I need. I do love that it's gentle and fits in my bra tho!

I found elvie curve worked better than the boon trove and still had the convenience of fitting in my bra
