I need a breastfeeding friend! I am struggling here with my little one! My supply is WAY down and nothing seems to be working to get it up! I've been pumping after every feeding, cookies, Gatorade, fenugreek, brewers yeast, mother's milk tea...I feel like EVERYTHING! Comment any suggestions or message me 😭😭
oatmeal in the morning don't go over like 80oz of water (iv read it can hinder supply) when you pump do it at least 10min after a feed and 20 if your pumping for a bottle you can also try letting the baby use you as a paci just latch him on when ever you can.... how old is baby? I had to supplement the first 2 1/2 mo or so when I thought we were doing good he would freak out at a feeding and then take a bottle, the other thing is that I don't thinky supply was as low as I thought I think little man liked that the bottle was faster so it took some time to get it all worked out but now I seem to have enough.. when I let down if he pulls of I squirt lol its much easier now try not to stress just assume that one day it will get better...oh another thing if you give a bottle pump too... even if you fed for a little and you switch to a bottle pump you might have milk he may just be refusing it. uuuum oh also make sure he doesn't have reflux mine did and made nursing so much harder. you will get there DONT STRESS! you got this!
oatmeal skin to skin when baby eats from breast make sure baby eating for longer than 10 mins if baby falls asleep tickle feet or something to get them eating again almond milk pump every two hours and after feedings hot water on breast help too
@nicole_jude, also, eating more calories. I know, it sucks...but I find I make much more after I eat something with lots of calories.
were you taking at least 3500mg of Fenugreek a day? that's about how much you need to see an increase. if you start to smell like maple syrup, that's how you know it's working! lol I know wierd right?!!😂😂 although some people say they never smelled like that, but I sure did! lol
