Frustrated breastfeeding momma here😧. I've been trying to exclusively breastfeed my 6 week old baby and it feels like I'm always running out of milk supply as the late afternoon-nightime comes on and carries over to next feeding the next day after midnight strikes. I've tried everything from drinking enough fluids, eating oatmeal, drinking milkmaid tea 3 times a day, drinking Gatorade and adding malunggay leaves to my meals. I put my baby on the breast multiple times on the times my breast is not putting out milk for him and he cries nonstop. I even temporarily stopped breastpumping after each feeding, since initially it caused my breast to run dry and milk supply not replenished as the day comes to a close. I was hoping I would be able to produce more than enough milk to start a freezer stash, but those chances are slim to none in my current situation. Any other tips or recommendations to help improve my milk supply?

are you counting diapers? maybe the tea is affecting your supply. I know some women these milk supply teas have adverse effects. your baby can be going through a growth spurt that could be why you think k it's not enough :) as long as baby is gaining and having enough wet diapers. .. you produce more in the middle of the night maybe you can pump at that time and feed baby an hour later to stimulate more milk production.. 1-6 mons their stomach hold 5 oz
took me 10 minutes to pump this from both breast after feeding Ethan for 25 minutes. My milk supply is going crazy yesterday I pumped 8 bottles my milk stash is going to be great
Am I they only mom on here not breast feeding? I never have enough milk come in to supply a baby so formula it is
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
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
is 1oz of breast milk enough at each feeding for a newborn? my baby is 4 days old
You can formula feed and breastfeed give the boobs a break lol , I just pump my breastMilk , I've been having that same problem
