Breastfeeding Moms I Need HELP !
I have been pumping since my daughter left the hospital from birth because she never latched but starting the new year I got her to latch on.
I’ve gone back to work and she’s gone to daycare.
All of the milk that I had stored is now gone and the 5oz or more bottles I was pumping has now decreased to 2oz and barely that. I’ve been trying to drink my mothers milk tea and fenugreek pills but it’s not helping ☹️ she practically stays on my boobs at night sucking because she’s not getting full unless I give her formula which I do to make sure she eats if I don’t have milk but it’s like I don’t have much to give her. What can I do or should I just give up?? 😥
No do not give up!! My daughter did the same when she was a baby baby it’s bc she’s going thru major growth spurts, or she can just be using you as a pacie!! My boobs got so sore when mine did it and it was so frustrating at times cause I felt like she would stay on them 😫 but here we are almost three years later, still nursing and bout to have my 2nd 💕
Look up legendairy products. They have everything in them to help your boost your supply.
You can buy or make lactation cookies. Personally I found that blackstrap molasses poured over oatmeal really increased my milk supply. And make sure you're drinking enough fluids and eating enough calories
Yeah I’ve been stuck on drinking water be a I thought that’s what helps but idk this decrease cams out of nowhere
Some have a decrease in milk with the Fenugreek pills. Oatmeal, coconut water, Gatorade, body Armor, lactation cookies are all the things I do.
But yesss power pumping to!!! That worked for me to increase my supply!!
