My milk supply has decreased a lot in the last few weeks to the point where now when I pump I don't even get an ounce out of either breast. I'm worried if I don't do something soon I'm not going to be able to nurse anymore. My son is only 3 months, I really hope this isn't the end. Any suggestions on how to increase my milk supply? I've been drinking Mothers Milk tea and it's helping a little but not as much as I would like. HELP!!
i took fenugreek and gave my daughter a bottle of formula it helped me relax and my supply went up i was barley getting an ounce between the two of them now i can get anywhere from 3-5 ounces depending on how long it's been since she last ate
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
update: I need help. I don't know what to do.
I feel like I'm failing my daughter. I had such a great milk supply up until about a week ago and I started producing less and less. And now I am lucky to get 3 ounces from both sides. My daughter will start to eat and then pull off and scream and she just screamed so much that she threw up because she is hungry. I've been nursing her all day. I don't want to switch to formula and I'm afraid I might have to. What else can I do to fix my supply.
Birthday suit and milk supply
I didn't even think about leaky breasts when milk comes in and I'm the type of person who wears their birthday suit to bed. I feel like I'm suffocating with any type of clothing on my body at night. But I was just thinking about milk supply... I know some women leak a lot and some don't.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I'll try the fenugreek, thanks so much! I've been trying to relax but I've really been beating myself up about it. My son won't take any kind of synthetic nipple (bottles, pacifiers, etc.) so unfortunately formula isnt an option. @harleysmama0616
