This is all I got after pumping on one side for 30mins. So frustrated!... I can’t seem to get my supply up this time…

@kissesz30, I’d look up lactation cookie recipes on Pinterest. Those are helpful. Fenugreek is a good supplement and there’s Mother’s milk teas as well. Also, I am apart of a Facebook community called the Leaky Boob and there are so many helpful women on there specifically for nursing. So that’s a good resource for you as well. 💕

@glencoco, @oddie, thank you so much. I’m definitely making a trip to the supermarket tomorrow. Are oatmeal cookies a good option as well?

I like the texture much better with steel cut oats

I wasn’t a big oatmeal fan either but I like this one. I mix it with some Greek yogurt, usually strawberry, vanilla honey or black cherry, and add some mini chocolate chips. It’s delish that way.

@kissesz30, I eat Quaker but steel cut is probably better for making milk. Try adding fruit, sugar, syrup, yogurt or something to flavor it up. @oddie, might be able to help with that she eats it a lot.

@cphelps39, that’s what his pediatrician said. It’s just that with my last 2 kids, I had so much milk I felt like a damn cow. Trying not to stress it though

@glencoco, @alysia.alysia, omg you ladies have no idea how much water I drink 😫 I hate oatmeal but I’m going to suck it up and add it to my diet.

Don't be discouraged. Any amount you get is a win! You're doing great!

Drink lots of water and TRY not to stress. It's a supply and demand function.

Mother's milk tea works wonders for me

Buy oatmeal milk, my doula said it helps tremendously with milk supply. She’s going to make me some, but until she does it I’m buying mine

This is how I was with my first baby. So I had to supplement with formula. Now with my second I drink so much water before & after I pump. I also try pumping every 1-2 hours. I still never get more then 2 ounces, but my supply has definitely gone up. I also eat oatmeal everyday (or at least try to) just keep pumping & drinking a lot of water! I noticed Some woman just make more then others. It's just how our bodies are. Good luck!

Also, you might be making more and just don’t respond well to a pump. Some women can’t pump but make an adequate supply of milk. The baby is just more effective at emptying your breasts than a pump is.

Try power pumping, drinking a bottle of water during every session, and eating oatmeal for breakfast.

Power pumping through the golden hours of 2 and 4 a.m. and I would always stress about this also and stress causes your milk flow too slow down but I know it's hard not to stress about it so that was my biggest problem
