so I have a question for any breastfeeding mommas, the past two days I have been pumping and feeding my son that way because of a tongue tie, I started to pump about an ounce from each in about 20 minutes, but its been decreasing with each pump. now I only have about half an ounce from each in 20 minutes. what should I do to boost my supply?

Are you pumping frequently? Every 2 1/2-3 hours, even at night?

yes, every 2, because I pump right before I feed him @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom

Are you drinking enough water throughout the day? Making sure to eat? (It's so hard to have sit down meals when you're trying to breastfeed and/or pump but snacking can help). Oatmeal is a good quick and easy snack that can help with milk supply.

flax seed was my life saver I was the type of person to get told a thousand times about it but never tried it thinking it was expensive then I found it at Walmart in the health section for 4$ I couldn't resist so I tried it with my oatmeal and baked it with some cookies and brownies and within a day I seen such a change it was amazing I highly suggest that(:

Drink plenty water, eat a good healthy diet with as much liquids, try mothers tea, try lactation cookies, and sleep and stress have a lot to do with it too! So most of all try relaxing as much as you can! 😊
