So I’m on day 5 of breast feeding. I woke up yesterday totally engorged & I’m so much pain! I was so rock hard my daughter couldn’t even latch so I started massaging & pumping & feeding her with a bottle. Well today I couldn’t keep up with her demands. She wants more than what I could produce so Iv had to use formula as well :( really didn’t want to but I’m only getting out maybe an ounce 1/2 every few hours & let me tell you it’s WORK just to get that out. Anyone else? Any advice on how to produce more milk?
Pump every 40 minutes throughout the day. Drink lots and lots of water, eat lots of protein, drink Mother’s milk tea, eat things with oatmeal, flaxseeds and peanut butter (if not allergic). You can also pump a little bit after your breast have gone down and then latch her to the breast. She will get the milk the pump won’t.
All is better today guys! Thank you. Got back on track
