But I cannot pump as much as he would eat if I were at home. I cannot seem to get caught up.

How often do you leave him? I used to leave rhianna on a tues thurs and fri. I'd pump on sat sun and mon mornings, to have enough for tues, then pump while I was at work tues and then weds morn for thurs milk, and pump thurs at work for fridays milk, i had a short day fridays. But even though I always left her plenty, she often didn't drink it, only as much as she needed, she much prefered to wait till I got home and then had a big fill up. Does Kael drink lots while away from you.
One thing to bear in mind is that in a month when he's one you can give him cows milk as a top up.

Yes, I have been taking the fenugreek. I just pumped and I got 8 oz. combined from both boobs. That is an improvement, although I have been away from home since 7am and it is now 2:30 pm.
I have to leave home everyday except most weekends. I have to be gone for at least 8 hours. I have only been getting one break (lunch) that is long enough to pump these days.
He does eat more than I bring home. He is usually one to two bottles (4oz each) ahead of me. He has had to take formula a lot of times. He doesn't do as well with it. I think it upsets his tummy a bit and he is fussy. He doesn't like it in the bottle and although he cries to eat, he tastes it and throws it down.
I wish I could always leave enough for the whole day. Maybe I will get back there.
I am skittish about giving him cow's milk even though he will be 1yo in less than a week. He is a small 1yo...my gut tells me he is not quite ready.
