Some of you may have read I couldn't breast feed. My mother was generous enough to get me a pump. I'm 6 days PP and got my pump yesterday but did not have the chance to try it out. I'm very glad that I can pump for my little one, and have a nice supply, but feel as though I could get more out. This is my first time using the pump. What are some ways to boost my supply?

Google breast feeding cookies, mothers milk tea can be found at Target and some Walmarts. Oatmeal for breakfast and water water water!

Hand express while pumping. Look at YouTube. It helps a lot!
WATER, WATER. I never took any of those supplements

That looks good for 6 days pp. your baby regulates your milk. Some weeks you will have 1-2oz and some days you may have 3-4oz your body knows how much to produce... Btw, i think its amazing that you did not give up

Pump every 45 min if you can!!! Trust me works wonders.

I read in your previous post he wouldn't latch, have you tried breast shields? Also do skin to skin while pumping.

Don't take anything... Water (LOTS) and pump.

We tried everything for him to latch.
And spider, can you bump it for me please? And I almost gave up. But I wanted to at least try the pumping. Thank you ladies

One thing that has always helped me while pumping. Relaxing in a hot bath prior. Or during depending on the pump you have. The let down appears to be much faster for me.

To help him latch you could always try the nipple sheild.
