So I just had my baby 4 days ago & my lactation consultant is already asking me to pump twice a day…

Personally that is way too early to drink. My girl is 9 weeks today and I only recently started to have a glass of wine here and there again and only when she is sleeping. There are other ways to increase your supply that isn't beer. Has your milk fully come in yet?

How else can I increase it????? & im not sure that's just what they told me because my baby's loosing a little bit too much weight I guess 😔 @sarahb518

I'm pretty sure your would be able to feel it. When your milk fully comes in your boobs will feel really heavy and you might get a bit engorged. It's possible you still haven't had it fully come in yet. I know they make specific cookies and teas that help with supply and making sure you drink plenty of water are things that can help you

Yeah I think it has then because they're SO heavy already & I felt a lot of lumps on them 😕 but they still told me that I needed to increase it ????? @sarahb518

& okay I'll look into the teas & stuff thank you ! @sarahb518

gallon of water a day, oatmeal every day, and pump every 2 hours. I followed that, and had 400 oz saved by the time my son turned 1 month old. Keep in mind its normal for babies to lose weight the first week because your milk takes a few days to come in. Right now its colostrum, which is clear but filled with the nutrients, and antibodies a newborn needs. Your milk should be in any day now, and its filled with lots of healthy fats to plump the baby up :) I breastfed for 14 months, and my grandma is a lactation specialist at WIC

Okay thank you for the tips ! & I know, they said it was normal for her to be losing weight but I guess she's loosing a little too much 😕 @rachel8792

lol mine told me to pump every 2 hours @steppphh

I wish I could pump Lil man don't like bottles but how I keep my milk flowing my husband massage my boobs that shit works my Lil one is 6 months try and see if that works
