How Can I Restore My Breast Milk Supply After Stopping?
so I breastfed my daughter for a week & a half . I had to stop because I couldnt handle the pain of her not latching correctly . I wanted to allow my nipples to heal while I pumped so she could still get breast milk without me grinding my teeth in pain the whole time she fed . SOOOOO , while allowing my nipples heal & lumping every 2-3 hours my milk went from 3oz (combined) to barely covering the bottom of the bottle . I still leak but when I attempt to pump nothing comes out . I was wondering if there was any way I could get my milk supply back because my daughter is now on formula which I didnt want to do & I only have 2 bags of milk left in my freezer .

The best way to get baby back to breast is stay relaxed. Keep trying. Give her a little formula/milk not a whole serving and try to get her to latch. Take a bath with her or do skin to skin in bed. Being close and naked can draw them to the boob. Anytime shes fussy or rooting, try the boob. If she refuses, give a little supplement and try boob again before giving up. If you dont know proper latch look up "flipple technique" or deep latch on youtube.
Maybe try the sandwich fold when trying to get her to latch.
@sims.krista, contact a lc. I had to slow feedings from boob this time because it feels like there is a thousand needles going into my nipples. I get so emotional and I try feeding as much as possible and for as long as possible without it hurting but it literally left me in tears.
@jessica.deshields no I had her checked she isn't tongue or upper lip tied . idk why she won't latch 😭💔
@jae I tried it . I pumped for 10 minutes every 30 minutes for 2 hours . & then kept pumping every 2 hours until my boobs were empty . but nothing happened.
@sims.krista I would suggest trying to re introduce to boob? I know that you will produce only what baby needs.
I also power pumped which is pumping for 30mins every hour. Google it and it will explain it more
@kendraharlee @kaseyjazmine ive heard a lot of people say mothers tea but I didnt know if it would actually bring my milk back. im going to try it tho !
Is baby possibly tongue tied? It could be the latching problem also try a nipple shield. The mothers milk tea and fenugreek pills helped me when I re lactated with one of my boys
There is no food, tea, or product that will help your supply. The only thing that will increase your supply is pumping/nursing more. Google power pumping, that will help you.
Google. There are teas & foods thats helo and pills that u get that will help too. I really loved the mothers tea when i was pumping for my first. I hope soemthing works for you
There's mother's milk tea, or lactation treats. I've also heard Ben and jerry's oatmeal icecream
@eashleystrain no I haven't . I know nothing will come out so idk if she will even be interested or she Will get fruatrated when nothing comes out .

Hello I am Ceiamaria I am a stay at home Mother to 4 children ages 12,8,7 and 11 months old. I am happily marr...
Y’all please please be careful and monitor what these babies are watching on YouTube thank god my baby didn’t understand what the thing was saying he showed me the phone and said “scary mama” I think continued to listen to what the thing was saying and I was livid and horrified it was explaining to my son how to kill the whole family while everyone was asleep
Breastfeeding hurts like hell. I cried so much when I first started. Go buy some gel nursing pads. You can put them in the fridge and they feel heavenly on nipples
