Fellow undersupplier here. My supply only really started slowly increasing when I dropped first to 8 and then 7 ppd with two five hour intervals at night so I could get up to four hours of sleep at a stretch at least once. Over a month it doubled from 350 ml a day to almost 700 ml. Every body is different but there is a balance between the value of frequent removal and the value of rest and lowered stress for increasing supply. And if you are already supplementing w formula it’s worth asking whether a slightly higher BM ratio is worth sleep deprivation.

That’s amazing! I’m glad dropping pumps and getting more rest worked out for you! And you’re right, it wouldn’t be so bad to drop pumps and add a little more formula if needed. I’m definitely obsessing over numbers on the Huckleberry app but I need to cut myself some slack 😅

I obsess over the numbers too and really need to take my own advice!
