Breastfeeding Question: I had a strong let down feeling when my boobs refill and it’s time to feed and i could pump about 4oz-5oz every three hours ...well the past two days it seems like my breast milk has decreased to 2oz or less every three hours and I’m forced to mix it with formula and i don’t feel my boobs refilling like i used to so I’m assuming my milk is drying up ?! Which is horrible ... any tips on how i can increase my milk back to 4oz-5oz so i don’t have to mix it with formula or substitute..

Every single time you pull out formula your production drops. They say to be careful supplementing. I encourage you to drink mothers milk tea, pump and nurse on demand. Not production dropped at 6 months and those three helped me in a day or so
@roguemommyofjx3, yea i don’t like the way any of that sounds ... I’m power pumping now to see if that helps . Have you heard of Mother’s Milk Tea ?
Try the herb Fenugreek. Helped up my supple a lot. Can be bought at Walmart or just about anyplace that sells vitamins and whatnot
Nurse nurse nurse! Just like @kambam, and @roguemommyofjx3, said ☺️
Nothing will work but putting baby on the breast. Also as said above your supply is regulating. I no longer get engorged unless my daughter is cluster feeding or skips 2 meals. Also you should be pumping every 2 hours and not 3. 2oz should be enough for one feeding. My daughter still drinks 1.5oz at 10 months old and it usually keeps her filled for 1 or 2 hours.
@mommyof.3, okay i bought a large jug of it ... thanks:)
@desire.clyburn i really don't know. I think just drinking lots of fluids helps and they help with electrolytes which is also the reason.
@mommyof.3, okay i heard about the Gatorade so i got the lemon lime flavor ... does it make a difference?
My supply dipped too but it came back up. It happens. Drink a lot of water and/or red Gatorade. Also put baby to nurse. That helps a lot. If you dont nurse then do power pump sessions to help increase it. Also oatmeal helps too.
NO. your milk is not drying up. Your supply is regulating and it can become hard to pump a good amount. The more you supplement formula the more it will suffer too. But if you can't nurse then you'll just have to pump more.
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. ?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
@vvrobinson, I’m heading to the store now for the tea... i just finished power pumping. Thank you
