Ok since no1 paid me any mind, let's try this again. How can I increase my milk supply? I've had the organic mothers milk tea twice this week and have also had the abuelita Mexican chocolate. Any other ideas/tips? Thank you!
how are your eating habits? eating small snacks more often throughout the day along with your meals may help. gotta keep that calorie count up!
@mdomke22, I have oatmeal like every other day too. Ugh 😞 I'm crying out of frustration
@timabaybee, I'm basically almost exclusively breastfeeding. That's what I don't get. My daughter only has one or two formula bottles per day. Yesterday I didn't give her not one bottle all day. Today either, but when I was breastfeeding her on my left boob. I decided to pump on the right side, it was leaking then once I started pumping, nothing came out. Then I tried pumping on both sides after feeding her. Nothing lol I'm about to drink the tea now while she naps.
Oh yeah also massage your breasts before and after breastfeeding/pumping. Hot showers help too. Lol forgot to add those 😩😩😩
Try to drink the mother's milk right before you're going to breastfeed/pump. Try to do the same with the fenugreek vitamins. Not sure if you're exclusively breastfeeding but they say the more you breastfeed the more your body will produce. Your milk production is based on supply and demand and your body will adjust to the needs of your baby. Hope this helps!
Be careful with the fenugreek pills.. even though they are consider an "herb" people have horrible reactions to them. I got a horrible rash from them and also saw no difference. Are you pumping at all ?
How old is the baby? It takes about 6 weeks for the supply to get established but drink A LOT of water! My supply was small in the beginning and I had to use formula but I increased my water intake and 5 months later still going strong.
