Ok so breastfeeding isn't going well for me and I'm not pumping enough so my milk is dying up. How…

Fenugreek supplement seems to help a lot of women

Leafy greens and lots of water

I was going through the same thing. Pump even if milk doesn't come out, it stimulates so it tells your brain to produce more. I pump 5 times a day after every feeding for 10-15 minutes and my supply has gone up even while pumping I will only get up to 2 ounces the most.

Pump output doesn't equal supply. .5 to 2 oz for a missed feeding is normal. Fenugreek can have the opposite effect. You won't dry upnif you're stimulating your breasts. why do you think you're drying up?

@meagansimone, nothing comes out. The only time I get anything out is at night

That's normal. Not every woman responds to a pump. Especially right after feeding. You produce the most milk between 3 and 7 am. Pumping too much can cause a lot of problems with you and baby. It's recommended to only pump once a day unless working or exclusively pumping.

@meagansimone, is right. Also a pump cant stimulate your boobs like a baby can so youll get less pumping than if you were to nurse. Im 11 months in with breastfeeding and I pump well im at work but I dont get much. When he nurses my boobs fill up :)

Fenugreek does help though alot :)

Just eat more carbs) 3-5 chocolate chip cookies with a black tea. I also ate French bread and it helped me a lot)

I just started lactation cookies! Hoping they work, I'll let you know 😊
