Any advice on increasing milk supply that has actually worked for you? I have a feeling im drying up. I'm barely pumping a half an ounce out of both breasts. When I first had her I could pump 5 oz.😕

Pumping isn’t an accurate indication of your milk supply, make sure your flange size is correct, your pump parts are working correctly. The best thing you can do for your supply is to drink plenty of water, eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired (or when your kids let you), take care of yourself and feed on demand. If it’s not possible to feed on demand make sure you’re pumping every 2-3 hrs you’re away from your baby. If all else fails schedule an appointment to see a lactation consultant.
My step dad is Hispanic our house was always filled with these growing up I cant stand the taste lol for some reason they make me sick
@sourpatchmama96 what!! They taste so good lol. Maybe dilute it so the taste wont be so strong?
@jennatess I've been dying for a drink but my doctor said you shouldn't really breast feed for 12 hours and I camt pump enough to last that long. My fiance is getting frustrated with me when I told him about the milky mama he said we just bought cookies from Walmart we bought the body armor drinks now you want this. Lol I said well we need to find something that works 🤷♀️
@sourpatchmama96, so funny! My lactation consultant actually told me to try beer! Haha. That’s exactly what I think… I want to try everything I can before I totally give up.
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
I need to find a breast pump that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. :(
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
