anyone know what I can do/take to get my milk supply up ? I'm pumping to bottle feed baby bc breastfeeding didn't workout, & formula is just too hard on her tummy. so I'm continuing to pump to bottle feed, but I need to get my milk supply up, any tips/advice ? TIA !
choose an hour every day. pump 20 minutes, rest 10, pump 10 , rest 10, pump 10 @mommytomia
Stay hydrated, power pump, skin to skin, keep working on baby's latch if you can, oatmeal, vitamin water and blue Gatorade(worked for me), good nutrition, and "super foods"
First start off by setting up a pumping plan a day, Pump for 10-15 minutes every two to three hours or evenwhen you have free time. Also do skin to skin contact with your baby and suck him/her sickon your nipple just so that your body knows that it still needs to be producing milk. The skin to skin contact helps to release those hormones your body needs to let it know the baby is hungry. Pump and Suck! These steps will help you to produce more milk. Hope i helped!
