Not producing as much milk as I was when my milk first came in. I'm mainly manual pumping and breastfed at least once or twice a day. What can I do to help
@prissykyea, sorry to hear.... Hope you can take your baby home soon
Ok gotcha.... Tons of water, even pump in between pumping (if that makes sense) to alert your body that milk is needed. Oatmeal, almond milk, sweet potatoes
Oh no. I'm sorry! Then just keep doing what you're doing! Definitely stay hydrated! I would make sure you're pumping every hour or so even if milk isn't coming out to keep the nipple stimulation up. Have faith! You'll make it! Hope your little one comes home soon!
@bri28 he's a week old. He's in the NICU so I don't have a choice. I have to pump to bring to him so they won't give him formula. I nurse when I go see him.
Stay hydrated. drink more water !!! I hope baby gets well soon so he/she can nurse!
Also, drink malt beverage. I like the one you can find in the Hispanic isle in the store.
How old is your baby? I wouldn't use a pump in the first two weeks at all. It's not recommended, unless you don't have another option of course. But the babies sucking and pumping is completely different. Breastfeed tour baby more often a day.
I'm a full time nursing momma of a 3month old. I have always nursed on demand. Pumping will never be as efficient as your baby's sucking. To increase your milk supply I would try putting your LO on the breast more often. I had a friend lose her supply completely because she didn't have enough stimulation!
It's gonna sound weird but my mom had that problem with me, and she solved it by drinking a can of beer. Now, obviously after you drink it you gotta wait for like an hr for it to filter out of your system so it doesn't transfer to the baby but she swears it made her milk go crazy.
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.

Milk is my crave I love it sooo much. What's urs or was urs
So since Eliana just drinks almond milk now it's hard to take extra milk with us anywhere.. So I guess my question is, is there like little take along almond milk boxes? Last night we was at my sil house and she had two bottles and ran out so I had to run to the store and buy a whole thing of milk 🤦🏻 it would be sooo much easier if I could find some in little milk boxes!!
I just tried grass fed organic milk..... I think i have been drinking wayyyy processed milk for too long because i think i just taisted the grass in the milk like it realllyy is grassy milk and dont know why i didnt like it 🤔am I supposed to boil before drinking it?
@bri28 @newmommma thank you. Helps a lot.
