Sounds like you might have it sussed now but i was going to add  sometimes if you think about your baby...you know those lovey dovey feelings,  that can trigger let down as well.  I felt let down as a prickly sort of feeling.

I agree with MegKelly. It all has to do with let down. If you don't experience a let down when you pump, you wouldn't get that much milk.  In addition to the great suggestions, you can try massaging your nipples before you pump. Once you feel a let down, you should get a lot more milk.

A lot of it has to do with 'let down'.  Do your breasts feel full?  I would suggest putting warm towels on your breasts or try doing it sitting down in the shower.  The key is to relax, have your bub next to you and try.  Give it a go for at least 20mins and dont focus on it, have the TV going and it will flow. 

Is your Bub getting milk ok?
