My milk supply is decreasing with 6 weeks to go

I have 6 weeks until I wean JOrdana, but my pumping milk supply is decreasing. I planned to stop pumping in 2 weeks, but I am concerned that I will have to tap into my freezer supply to supplement.

Has this happened to anyone else?

yes i had the same situation and had to use the frozen milk. thats what its there for. i had about 1 week supply in the freezer and had to use 2 8oz a day and i was fine. actually weaned Olivia at 11 months because the process is long. the first week its 3/4 bm and 1/2 whole milk that also helped tremendously considering my supply was diminishing. hope that helps. fm if you have more questions

This never actually worked for me.

Thanks for your responses.

I never had a problem with my supply, so maybe I will try the herb.

I have a ton of milk in my freezer, but i was planning on stopping pumping in 2 weeks and just using that for her last month. I guess I'm worried that if I dip into it now, there won't be enough for the month. I guess I can always give her whole milk before her first b-day (My doctor said OK if its a week or two before).
