I'm breastfeeding when i pump i only get about 25oz a day i nurse him about 5-8 times he drinks about 9-10 bottles of breastmilk a day that's 23-26oz, i want to save up & freeze some but i haven't been able to because he drinks almost all that i get out by pumping how can i produce more? i pump every 2-3 hours sometimes 4-5 when baby sleeps at night, I'm going back to work soon and want to have some for him in the freezer how can i do it? i don't want to feed my baby formula he's been breastfed since he was born and now is a healthy 1 month old. please any suggestions?

nurse more & bottle feed less. you are making more than most women do at your baby's age. you're not going to be able to keep up & have some for him while you're at work, if you're feeding him your stash while you're together.
oh and don't worry about how long he's nursing for. sometimes 5-7 minuets is all they need. lol
@lovelycin09 awww don't worry about people staring at you! breastfeeding is a natural thing and if they don't like it, tell them to look the other way! you have a right to breastfeeding where ever you like, it's the law! I know it can feel uncomfortable, but if you can try and over come it. or maybe use a cover? is he having at least 5 wet diapers? also don't worry if he isn't pooping everyday, it's completely normal for him to go a few days with out pooping maybe even a week!
that's good your hubby helps out! perhaps try and limit how many bottles you allow during the So that you try and stock up.
To help incresse your supply you can try lactation cookies, mothers milk tea, Fenugreek pills, and of course drink lots of water!
i don't do it much because im always concerned that the baby is not getting enough he only drinks the most is 5-7 mins from 1 boob then knocks out all the time and wasn't peeing or pooping much so that's why and when im outside i give him the bottle because people always look at me weird if i breastfeed in public and sometimes when im sleeping hubby wakes up and feeds the baby the milk that's in the bottle. so im trying to find away that i can produce more@rosalinasmami
why don't you just save what you've pumped and just breastfeed, rather than doing both bottle and nursing. if someone is helping you feed baby then maybe only give 1 or two bottles and pump in between your missed nursing periods.
thank you so much ill try 😊 @rosalinasmami @aeb3
