They say the instant doesn't work as well but I ate the fruit and cream instant oatmeal and it worked well for me. 😊 @poohzbaby328

So I can eat my fruit and cream oatmeal or just plain???@babyjjsmommy

Oh no it's just the first few days, you're doing exactly what you need to. Sometimes it takes a few days for your milk to come in and even then it can take a little while to regulate itself. Don't give up, and definitely continue to nurse and pump frequently! Also if you are worried about your supply dropping at any point, get in Pinterest and look up lactation recipes. Usually you'll find some for smoothies and some for cookies. I've only tried the smoothies and they seemed to noticeably increase my supply! I also ate oatmeal every single morning and that helped as well. @poohzbaby328

The reason I am asking is because the first couple of days my son was in the nursery fighting a small infection so I was constantly pumping and when I get home I feel like my supply has gone down but I still get the stingy sensation

Thanks! @mrscruz0530 and congrats to you too!

I'm probably a bad person to ask advice from when it comes to keeping up milk production because I've produced so much, really TOO much lol. However, there are definitely things that you can do to increase supply: eat oatmeal, cook with Brewers yeast or use it in smoothies, flax seed and chia seed, mother's milk tea, drink LOTS of water, pump as frequently as you can, nurse as frequently as you can, etc. I hope this helps 😊 @poohzbaby328

Definitely feed on demand the more your baby demands the more your body will supply!! Also drink lots of water and healthy foods. Pinterest has lists of bf superfoods and recipes for lactation cookies and shakes etc.. 🙂@poohzbaby328

Congrats mama! I'm about to hit 7 months so exciting!

@babyjjsmommy,

What is your technique for keeping the milk production going in the beginning???
