Hey ladies today is the 5th day sense i had my son & my milk supply still have not show this is baby #3 for me & feel very sad bc i didnt have no issues with my other two besides this one.. i let him be on ky breast as much as he can to get all he can from both breasts & was wondering what can i do to help my supply show faster or was going on 😥😔😔 he does not actually get full so i have to be feeding as much as i can but my nipples hurt cause he latches very hard.
I had the same issue. I upped my water and pumped for 5 minutes after every feeding. Plus keep him latched as much as u can. Use nipple shiwlds if ur nips need a break -hang in there . U got this!
I recently went from like being able to pump 5oz+ of milk to 2oz and barely that 😞 I listened to different things I could try to boost my milk supply and these are things that helped me!
- Drink plenty of water
- Lactation cookie
- Mothers Milk Tea
- Avocado 🥑
- Bananas 🍌
- Power Pumping
- Skin to Skin with baby and keeping them on the boob
@claudie_02, when I had my daughter she wouldn’t latch and I was in pain because she kept trying but due to her latching wrong I was in pain. I expressed into a cup and like spoon feed her just to get her to eat a good amount. I did this until I went home and I began to pump. After a couple days you began to see your milk will began to come in pretty good. Also try nipple shields and nipple balm for soreness and cracks.
@lovingmy_2 My baby is 4days old thats why i was wondering if my milk will eventually show up sometime soon. :(
Thank you ladies! I was just scared thinking my supply was never going to show,but now i know that it will i just have to keep myself doing what im doing :)
