He's so cute! If you're open to taking something to try to boost your supply I cannot recommend Motherlove More Milk Plus enough. I would use it for a week or so when I needed to boost back up a touch, and it would really help. I can't stand tea so I never drank the teas that are supposed to help, but that might be another idea. Another thing I read that I did with DS when pumping was to finish pumping, unhook, and then lean forward and grab your breasts and kind of gently shimmy them (this is making me laugh to remember because it sounds so dumb but helped), gently massage, and then repeat with the shimmy. I'd end up getting about and extra ounce/ounce and a half after it if I pumped for a few more minutes.
Yes, my LC recommended More Milk Plus because fenugreek didn't help, I am ordering it today. Glad to hear it worked so well for you. I will give the pumping trick a shot too, thanks!
I also had good luck with the MMPlus capsules, in fact I took less than the regular dose and did well with it! Also, Mama's Magnificent Milk tea was a help too. But put some honey in it because it tastes terrible.

He is legit cute!
I never had much luck pumping until about 8 weeks, then I could usually get enough for 2 feedings at a time. Warm compresses on my boobs and hand massaging helped the most.

Oh my gosh those dimples. He is perfect and still absolutely a gorgeous baby. You're gonna be fighting off young girls left and right that will be trying to make him their BF by age 3-4. Good luck.
