I'm not making milk today? Help!

edited October 2011 in Breastfeeding
I'm literally not producing today, I don't get anything when I pump, my boobs are deflated, I haven't felt the pain of production, nothing comes out when I self express, and my boy has been on my boob all day long every 15 minutes and he isn't spitting up like usual! Every time I take him off he screams bloody murder... Idk what to do! He is still peeing like he is getting something but its like there is nothing in them! This has never happened before, I always have extremely obvious production! I haven't even gotten a pad wet even a little today :( any advice??? Or anyone else have this happen?

    DONT STRESS OR WORRY! Just let him keep suckling! No matter if you have to let him do it every 15 min. Not pumping for 12 hrs is NOT going to deminish your supply. Just let him feed as he pleases.
  • @mommyfor3 yep! Pumped and dumped about 5 times, about the same he would feed
  • Take fenugreek
  • @caroline8_p I'm not too worried about it as long as he is still eating, but he won't let me get up, he won't sleep, he just wants boob! It was cute earlier but now its just nuts O.o
  • I would say keep feeding and make sure you drink lots of water it helps my supply...Saturday I felt like I had no milk and drink alot if water and woke up Sunday with tons of milk
  • @mommyfor3 I'll have to try that! I would try the fenugreek but its an hour drive to the nearest open store and we atte broke lol. I hope I wale up engorged

  • @ashleyfew I'll take your word for.it! Hourly he doesn't do this for too awful.long! I'll deal tho, at least I have an excuse for being lazy till he is done :D
  • It will definitely pass but is stressful when its happening! Being lazy is great! ;-)
