BREASTFEEDING MOMS!!
I have to return to work the beginning of December and I'm in a panic. I seem to produce just enough for my baby...no more. So its basically impossible for me to build up a stash of breastmilk for my mom to give her when she watches her when I return to work. Right now I maybe have 20oz or so stored up. I take fenugreek 2 pills 3x a day. I drink the mini Gatorades. Eat the lactation cookies. Drink water. Nurse frequently. But I dont know what to do to have even the slightest oversupply so I can start a stock. Any suggestions?

Also I forgot to mention if you still leak from the opposite breast when feeding I would use a silicone suction pump while nursing to get a little extra during let down. Again you can add up all these little bits!

You don’t need a huge stash. Just enough for a couple days to get you going cause baby will eat what you pump at work for the next day. But try pumping after baby goes to bed or after the first morning feed (you generally have the most then) even if you only get an ounce...start saving them up and combining it to make full bottles. You can do it!

I'm just worried about making sure I have some sort of stash when I go back on call in case I work late or into the night. But yeah I need to just combine the little bits I can get!

Try drinking Mother's Milk Tea. Worked like a charm when I was loosing my supply with my first. I ended up being able to breastfeed/breastpump for at least a year.

Does your baby eat from both sides at each feed? What helped me build a small stash was pumping one side while my son ate from the other. I was able to pump at work, so I would pump what I needed for the next day and never really had an issue with needing a stash. I really was panicked about it but it ended up being just fine. I was able to pump at work until I weaned him at 14 months.

She HATES my left and refuses to eat from it bc it doesn't produce as much and has a slower letdown. I will try that!

I should add I've tried supplementing her with formula so I can pump sometimes and she was taking that fine but is now refusing formula altogether so the pressure is really on for me to provide breastmilk for her when I go back to work
