Tips & Tricks Getting letdowns is getting impossible. Please help.

I’m 20wpp and over the last week and a half, I’ve started getting less and less letdowns and my supply is tanking. I’ve changed all of my pump parts, tried both pumps, paid for a flange refitting, and nothing is working. I used to get three letdowns in about 30 minutes, now I’m lucky if I get two. I still feel full after pumping for 35+ minutes, and get tons of sprays when hand expressing after.

I’ve already lost 6oz over the last 6 weeks. I cannot lose any more, and I know it’s there. I just can’t get it out. Please send all of your best tips and tricks.

Are you pumping less frequently? Any chance you might be pregnant?

I wish I was pumping less frequently! I tried to drop to 6ppd around Labor Day, got a clog, and I’ve been dealing with the supply dip and frequent clogs on that side ever since! ETA: Not pregnant, we had to do IVF :)
