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?

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.

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.

Some women don’t respond to pumps at all, some takes a certain style, and sometimes you just have to replace part
