HELPPP!!!! IM LOSING MY MILK SUPPLY :(
I'm drinking plenty of water and gatorade. Also eating oatmeal and drinking 4 glasses of mothers milk tea. I don't know what else to do
Skin to skin!! Also, try taking fenugreek and blessed thistle tablets. I usually do during the work week.
Your supply could be regulating when my daughter was a month old she went through a growth spurt and wanted to eat constantly and it felt like she had sucked me dry cause she would cry when nothing seemed to be coming out and my body wasn't used to her eating at certain hours so it had to adjust. Don't give up keep putting her on the boob
@m.sprouse, if she takes a long nap, like 4 hours by the 2-3 hour mark I would pump and sometimes get a full 6 ounces. now I am barley getting 3-4. my boobs aren't feeling as full anymore either. This has been going on for 4 days.
The more you let her nurse, the more milk you will make. Also make sure you drink a lot of water!!!
pump often too, even if there's not much or any coming out. It signals your body to make more milk.
@jnh199243, okay, I haven't been taking any prenatal. Thank you.
The other night I had to give her a bottle of formula because she was getting so frustrated that nothing was coming out.
Brewers yeast helps!! I had the same thing happen to me. Drank water, gateorde, mothers milk tea are oatmeal like crazy! Try Brewers yeast! It's amazing!! I went from pumping 2-3 oz of watery milk to 10 oz of fatty milk!!!
