Exclusively pumping is so stressful! I feel like I will never produce enough to start a stash 😢 when did everyone that is pumping start pumping enough to start a freezer stash? I start work in 3 weeks and I'm worried I'm going to have to supplement :(

Yes I've tried power pumping. I do it once a day. I just started though, this will be my third night. I only get at the max 4 when I do it though and I normally get 3. I pump every 2 hours during the day and every 3-4 at night. I'm also taking the honest company lactation pills too. :/

Make sure you're eating and drinking like crazy to help increase your supply. It's all about supply and demand when it comes to pumping... The more often you pump, the more you train your body to make more milk.

@the acy.fly.10, I do notice on days I'm really good about eating and drinking I pump more, so I need to work on that. Thank you!

To get up your supply drink up to a gallon of water per day. Try eat cooked oatmeal with cinnamon. If you don't have an allergy to eat chocolate with almonds in it. And drinking a bottle of Powerade or Gatorade per week help with milk products! If you need any more information. Feel free to message me!

with my youngest son I took fenugreek pills everyday, ate healthy, drank lots of water, pumped every hour or when ever I could & made sure I got every last drop out each time & I had a whole freezer full... it takes a lot of time & patience... I also breastfed him too most of the time so convenient at night when your tired! 😊
