So frustrated. Almost 2 weeks and still not producing much milk when I pump. No wonder my baby is always hungry and have to supplement her with formula almost every time. 4 times that I've pumped already still the lefty not even half an ounce comes out and the right was producing a lot and now not so much. 😔 already went to lactation 4 times but I doubt when I go back tmrw they can do anything about my production. I have Mothers Milk tea also and nothing.

Don't let it get you down sometimes breast feeding does not work out but it will be okay 😊

how many times a day are you breastfeeding your baby?

My moms friend told me to drink half a cup with warm beer. Yeah I know WTH right? But it worked! You obviously pump the milk that comes right after drinking the hot beer & throw it away. But in the next few hours your breast will start to get full. It worked wonders for me. It's gross & wired but hey i was willing to try anything. Good luck though 👍

@elismommy428, every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Even if I try to feed her exactly every 2 hours she won't unless she's a little hungry

is she latching on good? I can tell my baby is because I start feeling my milk coming down.. I don't know there could be so many things, some times mommies are just unable to do it, my friends aunt had twins and she couldn't breastfeed at all.
don't stress out about. that could be another reason, and probably give that beer thing a try too, I have a lot of friends who did it, all of them said it worked for them (:

@jaaym_, Your milk supply will come. It felt the same way for me and Lucas. But it gets better. stay hydrated and eat healthy, oatmeal can help boost as well but it takes a lot and needs to be old fashioned oats. @beauti22 non alcoholic beer actually works the same:) what's helping is actually the yeast, the alcohol actually fights to lower your milk supply .. One drink is safe anyway but the alcohol metabolizes through the milk at the same rate as it does your bloodstream so no need to pump and dump.

What do mean always hungry Hun? At that age, they literally eat all the time. It is normal. Why are you pumping? You bottle feeding to?

Also is she gaining weight?

@mommastone, as in she cries after both breasts because she's still hungry even if I give her both breasts to feed from so her dr told me I need to supplement so yes I have to bottle feed as well. And I have to pump because I have to go back to work.

How long do you feed on both side? Until she cries and then you switch?
