It’s time for me to start going back to work and leaving this goofball with his dad. I am strictly breastfeeding and need to increase my milk supply so I can leave enough bottles for him while I’m gone. Any suggestions on what will help increase it?

There's a tea called mother milk or lactation cookies

Lots of water, pump after he eats every time to signal to your body you need to produce more, eat oatmeal, try a mother's milk tea.

just pump every four hours at work or as often as you can. Pump when he would normally be eating. Whenever you are together, only nurse, no bottles.

I heard that no job can deny and should always give you time to pump. Just check the law in your area. For increasing you can try power pumping because it’s kinda like cluster feeding. It’s takes time but I heard it really works. It’s when you pump for 10mins and rest for 10mins and keep doing that for 1-3 hours to fully empty the breast and to send the breast signal as if you baby needs more so your breast will start to process more on demand for the baby.

You can pump at work. It’s against the law if they don’t allow it. I however have the same dilemma. I work at a coffee stand, normally solo, and extremely busy..idk how I’ll be able to step away to pump. I think I’m going to have to switch to formula 😔

@xomarylee, I’ll definitely look into that and I’ll try the power pumping this week!

@lizsouthwick, try to get as many bottles as you can before you go to work! I’m in the same position. I really don’t want to use formula
