my son is 3 and a half months old and about a month and a half ago i would pump and pump so my mom could feed izaiah a bottle every night before he goes to sleep. well, i just pumped this morning (after not pumping for about a month and a half b/c of going on a trip) an di only pumped 2 oz! i used to be able to pump like 4 oz, no problem and continue. is my milk supply decreasing or? i pumped each boob extra few minutes so they know to produce even more. my son is eating any where between 1 to 3 hours a feeding. plus he has two front bottom teeth coming in. help!

Around 4 months, your supply becomes much more taylored to demand. Before you basically just have excess milk because your body is not sure how much the baby will eat. If you want to start having a regular pumping routine, you need to pump at the same time every day. After a few days, your body will get the hint and start to produce at that time.

Has it been a month and a half since the baby had a bottle, too? because he may not take it anymore if that's the case.

Also, don't worry about the teeth. they will be covered by his tongue when he nurses. teeth are not a reason to stop nursing--that's just a myth.

he wont take the bottle at all. he refuses. i went into surgery and he just cried and cried my mom was saying. thanks for the tips
