A member asked:
Why does excessive breast pumping tend to dry up milk? i am breast pump and breast feeding. i am afraid of drying out

You have to be relax: Stressing yourself out and worrying too much may contribute to drying you up. You can use fenugreek to increase milk production by 900 % per research studies! drink plenty of fluids and get enough sleep 8 hours straight . Good luck .Fyi -pumping helps stimulate milk production not the other way around.
