I need help π I'm breast feeding & I pump with a manual pump every other day or so just to see if I'm producing enough milk & all I get is a little over 2 ounces D; . My baby is a week & 5 days old at first it was enough but I can tell she needs more & more & my body isn't cooperating what should I do ?
The more you pump the more you produce. Every few hours to begin with until you produce a good supply. Like the other ladies suggested mothers milk tea or fenugreek supplements will give you a boost.
@mrs.oliva, I usually pump 2oz each pumping session but the tea helps me pump 4-5 when I drink it. A ton of milk comes in, my breasts get hard so I apply a warm towel and then pump it out
I didn't recieve it yet. I'm using my sisinlaws evenflo pump for now and only getting 2-4 ounces each session. I hate this pump! It's painful too maybe because the flange is a little bigger than my nipple :( @mrs.oliva
Well my son will be two weeks on Thursday. I was the same way now I'm just getting 2oz or 4 with both breast on a good day. So I decided to supplement until I get more milk. Keep pumping it's going to come. Some preggie friends said around week three to five you will get more of an adequate supply
