Call the nursery at: Your birth hospital & ask the nurses for names of lactation consultants. They can watch your baby nurse, help you determine the cause of your reduced supply & suggest methods for increasing it. Stress, diet, hydration & illness can be factors. Because it's a feed-back system, the more you nurse, the more milk you make. Try nursing every 3-4 hours during the day & after 6 hours at night.
