I see moms with freezers full of breastmilk meanwhile I can’t pump enough to feed a mouse. When I breastfeed, my daughter seems to be getting more than enough milk. Im not sure if im pumping wrong or what but it seems like I should be getting more milk when I pump. Suggestions?
I am the same way. I only get 3-5 oz combined per pump session. I’ve tried lactation cookies and drinks but they don’t work for me but I would try them they could help you. Also check your flange size. I was using to big a size when I sized down I started getting more milk I was only getting 2.5 oz combined.
I haven’t done this yet but it’s next on my list you can rent a hospital grade pump and I’m told that can help too
Try to power pump. Also after the last drop of milk comes out keep pumping for another 5 minutes.
Best of luck to you
I’m in the same boat. 3/4oz a day total if I’m lucky. I just bit the bullet and schedule an appointment with a lactation consultant.
try any of milky mama products i was pumping less than 6oz a day now i pump abou 22oz a day i like the drops better then the treats but i would give them a try
Some women don’t respond to pumps at all, some takes a certain style, and sometimes you just have to replace part
Make sure you are drinking enough water and eating plenty. Also try warming up the flanges in warm water or with a warm towel. It really helps get your milk flowing.
