Tough choices: It is possible your milk supply has dwindled due to stress of the job or just because you have less time to pump. Also pt is older and needs have increased. In any case if you really want to feed your baby more BM you need to increase your supply by pumping 8-10 times a day and consider taking fenugreek supplement. Otherwise you can just do what you can and just feed the child more formula.
