In the 4 days that she has been alive, she has milked me dry and has used up 2 oz of stored milk daily. Is my supply down because i got my period? will it increase? I'm pumping like crazy when ever i can to increase. any advise?? Marica. I am my husbands wife My dogs mommy Expecting our bundle of Joy October 2008
