Dont feel like retyping. but also. my milk is lessening. 3 weeks ago I was able to produce 4 ounce bottles like it was nothing. now I can barely get 20 ml out of both breasts during a 45 minute pump session. hot compressions are not working, eating healthy and extra calories are not working, hand expressing and massage isn't working, fenugreek isn't working. and drinking damn near 12 bottles of water isn't helping me either. can I get some insight on these cookies or maybe get some advice. I'm not that stressed if anything I'm doing much better than what I was. I just don't understand what happened. I ALWAYS pump every 3 hours like I should.

Have you heard of mothers milk tea? Also oatmeal is suppose to help! And if you look on Pinterest you'll find lactation smoothies and cookie recipes. My baby is 2 months and I'm dreading the day my production gets low :(

have you tried those pumping routines of 10 min on 10 min off for a little while? Also skin to skin with baby helps. Alsoin the morning gives more than night. Have you tried putting babies mouth to nipple? And trying to get a latch? Try that a few times a day every day! Or get a nipple shield and try to get baby to latch. Ink if you can't at all, but baby by breast releases the hormones for attachment AND milk

The nipple shield too? Just remember breastfeeding takes time and practice for baby to learn. I learned this in the hospital when I complained I tried 100x he wasn't hungry the nurse said try 101x

yep. lactation consult and the peds doctor both are struggling trying to get him to latch, or even build interest in a breast. if you put him near one and express, he WILL scream he will not even try. the NICU just has him too used to bottle nipples. @tahtahme
