Hi New mamas & not so new mamas 🤗!! I'm a first time mama and I am currently loving breastfeeding my…

Drink tons of water!!

@rmreed, okay that's something I don't do , I drink water but not as much I will definitely increase my water intake. Thank you 😊

I used this tea to get my milk production up. Around 4-5 months into breastfeeding my milk production dropped out of the blue and I tried everything. I breastfed a ton, pumped.. but after drinking this tea two days I was pumping twice the amount again. It's not the best tasting tea but if you make it in the morning and chug it once it's cold it's not too bad. I won't recommend drinking it unless you're actually not making enough milk. Your baby is still a little newborn and she doesn't need much milk. If she's having wet diapers and poopy diapers she's doing just fine. Once she gets older and has her first growth spurt ( super fussy, cluster feeding every two hours, struggling to sleep soundly) she will actually cluster feed on your boob to get your milk production up. It's a natural way to get your supply up. For now just watch her wet diapers. I think when they're first born it was like 3-4 wet ones and 2 poopy ones... I honestly don't remember that right now 🤔

@cubanese, I feel I need to increase my milk supply because after what seems like she's done breastfeeding I try and give her a bottle and she eats a little more I must not be breastfeeding for long? I just don't want to get her used to feeding off a bottle and later her not wanting to breastfeed since it's my first I want to have this experience for however long I can.

@momma_dee, okay I've heard that it does work and others say it doesn't everyone is just different I guess but thanks! I've been eating oatmeal and drinking a lot of water this has seemed to help me so far.

@vvrobinson, I will have to give it a shot, and I really just want to try it cause when I'm away Fromm home it's something I can easily carry with me and drink & her first growth spurt makes sense .. I just want to breastfeed as long as I can, I just don't want her to get used to a bottle which seems like she is .. my SO and MIL don't understand how important it is to me.

@cubanese, okay lactation consultant can you give me tips on how to get back on my boob this morning I tried latching her on because she was very hungry and she wouldn't latch my SO gave her bottle and she took that very easily.

@nessaness, I don't understand what you're saying? Do you just breastfeed ? Or do you supplement with formula as well?

Stay hydrated!🌸
