You have to move milk to make milk . The more you remove, the more you will get. Every 2 to 3 hours for the first 6 weeks is recommended practice around the clock
I did supply and demand and drank nothing but water.
@beemommyof3, so the more often I pump or latch him on my breast the more milk I’ll get?
No. food has nothing to do with it It is all supply and demand. You should eat and drink normally. The more you demand the more supply you will have. No supplements because they have a lot if side effects and aren't proven to increase supply.
@beemommyof3, is there anything I should be eating or drinking more of?
Supply and demand is 100% Best way to maintain. Also make sure to rub his saliva on your nipples a few times a weeks to keep the milk adjusted to need.
You need to pump every 2 to 3 hours to maintain supply. Also baby needs 1 to 1.25 ounce per hour which equals out to 24 to 34 ounces approx per day.
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@mommyirene, if your milk sits in there for longer than 3 hours it will start to decrease. As long as you pump every 2-3 hours it will increase/stay the same. I had problems when Noah was 2 weeks old I had to put him on formula and quit cold turkey I tried to keep breastfeeding by pumping and I noticed that if I went to long without pumping I would get a lot in the first session but if I went back later to pump again longer than 3 hours later I would get less and less each time.
