Is it normal for your nipple to become swollen while your pumping? 😳 mine goes from a dime size to a nickel size 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also any tips on how to increase supply and pump more milk?

Oh man. Things I did to increase my milk supply were crazy! But few of them I can think of is fenugreek, alfalfa, and this think called shatavari all in supplement form. AND I ate anything that helped for that as well like oatmeal, chickpeas, greens, garlic, cumin...

The baby had enough but I was surrounded by in laws and family members that blamed every crying session for him being hungry so I got super paranoid. :-/ turns out infants communicate by crying...

Awe man, yeah it’s tough when people try to tell you how to parent. Makes you second guess everything. My son gets plenty when I don’t pump but I’m trying to build my stash for when I head back to work and any time I pump I am empty the rest of the day and those days my son is crying cause he’s hungry and I feel so bad. I want to continue pumping but when that happens I get very sad 😢 I just hope my body can keep up with him and with pumping. I really want to continue giving him my milk and breastfeeding when I go back to work.

@kasey.m, I also read that your supply increases based on baby's need so latch him on as much as possible.
