Help! I've always had supply issues and only can pump a few ounces at a time. Through the holidays and traveling and stress I wasn't able to pump as much! Now I'm not producing jack squat! I drink mothers milk and pump when I can. It's hard when I'm home alone. My LO doesn't want to be set down ever. Help! I need tips and tricks to get my supply back up. My girl is breastfed and supplemented due to supply issues but I am not okay with drying up and not producing any milk for her.
Thank you in advance! 💕🙌🏽

are you pumping only or nursing the baby? If you're nursing, remember that anything you pump is considered extra. The average woman can expect to pump between 1 to 4 oz total. To increase your supply you can google power pumping. Increase water intake, steel cut oatmeal, flax seed, chia seed.....those are some power foods.
I'm in the same boat. I'm lucky to get over 2 oz total and I pump every 3 hours. I was getting more before the holidays. But like you, I didn't pump enough. My son eats about 120ml every 3.5 hours. He is in the nicu so I know it's going to effect my supply a lot so I'm hoping when he comes home, I'll produce more. I'll probably pump for a month after he comes home no matter what and then make the decision on whether I'm continuing or not. Try power pumping. I do understand the being alone part making it super hard to pump too. I wish you luck.
Not producing as much milk as I was when my milk first came in. I'm mainly manual pumping and breastfed at least once or twice a day. What can I do to help
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
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
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.
yall I need help! what can I do to produce more milk?? I feel like my milk is drying up! :-(
@ssdj4, woah I'm just seeing this today!
