I'm working and i don't have much time to pump so my breast milk getting less and less. what should i do?

Supply and demand: If you pump less you make less. Talk to your boss about dividing your lunch hour into half so you can have two more times to pump. If possible to adjust your hours ( to allow longer time at breaks to pump, do so. If your boss is rigid, remind him.her that breast fed babies have better immunity and get sick less, so you will not have to take off to care for the kid as much! Keep trying. Good luck
