My supply doesn't seem to be going up, when I pump I can only get maybe an ounce if I'm lucky. I eat foods that are supposed to boost your supply up.. what else could I be doing wrong? I don't want my baby to have anything but breast milk. She's a little over a week old.
@wendilsims, don't compare yourself to other people. Your body will make what your baby needs. Just put your baby to the breast every time he/she cries, and you will establish a great supply.
I saw that someone who had their baby after me pumped like 3 oz in one sitting from the same breast so that's why I've been trying to boost my supply
That's normal for 1 week. Your baby's stomach is still so tiny. You do need to make sure you're staying really well hydrated. You should be drinking 3 liters of water per day. Gatorade or Powerade are both good for supply too, so you could add a bottle or two per day.
Okay ladies thank you! I just worry about my supply going down cause I want nothing more than to ebf my baby!
