Women are telling me I'm going to kill my supply by not breastfeeding. But my baby has a high pallet and doesn't like to latch. I'm seeing another consultant next week, but I'm pumping everytime I feed and still feeding him my milk. Will I really kill my supply by strictly pumping? 😢

I'm making the transition from pumping to breast feeding, my baby was in the NICU for 2 weeks after he was born (not a preemie) so he kind of got used to a bottle. So since then I've been pumping, my lactation consultant recommends that I pump every 2 hours during the day and every 3 at night. I try to keep up with that schedule but I do admit that sometimes the gaps are longer than she recommended. My supply is still pretty decent, I get anywhere from 2-3 ounces from each boob. But I just started taking this supplement and drinking mother's milk tea which is supposed to help supply a lot. Also I found some great recipes for lactation cookies online! The LC didn't say anything about my supply drying up just because I'm pumping, so you should be okay!

you have to be on top of your pump. i mean always check the parts make sure they are always clean & in good condition. switch out parts when you are suppose to. trust me having parts that don't work or fit right or are supposed to be switched out every month or so affects how much you can pump.

Ad in a pin or two of cinnamon and you can put in sugar and milk! Good Luck!

there are definitely foods that boost supply, I found many lists on pinterest for that as well

When you pump think of your baby, eat cooked oatmeal (not interested) twice or three times a week! You should be fine!

@sarahdrew, Ah ok I definitely don't want to lose my supply. Thanks so much! I'll be checking that out and working to try and pump more.

you can exclusively pump, you may not get as much as a mom who has been nursing but you will still supply enough mama... I would look up extreme pumping or pumping guidelines on pinterest, I've seen stuff that will help you supply more (a pump doesn't empty you as much as actually nursing.... but it can be done mama don't worry

I really want to exclusively breast feed.. my baby doesn't latch well an i can't pump more than 4 oz a day. I was to stop using formula but I have no idea how to increase my supply no matter how many times I power pump, put baby to breast, pump every 2 hours. my supply never increases as a fact it's dropped I'm barely getting 2 oz a day now :'( I feel like my body is failing me

Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
