Best way to help increase Breast milk production? For some reason it has decreased😪
I tried breastfeeding so hard it only lasted a month and a half. I’ve tried everything to increase my supply and I feel like stressing over it made it decrease even more. It was to the point where I’d only pump out an ounce every hour so I had to switch to formula. But I’d do anything to feed my baby.
Are you still nursing or is baby now just fed formula? Were you able to get support or help from a LC?
@mygirlsaretheexception, yeah I’ve tried EVERYTHING and I had to switch to formula
I try to pump 4-5 times a day But lately it’s been coming out a lot slower before it took 20 min to fill both 5oz bottles now it take 35-40 min sometimes I don’t even fill them all way idk if it’s me or the pump is wearing out I revived it as a gift so idk 😐 I will try drinking a lot more water and try eating more oatmeal
I only pump while I’m away from my baby, usually only once. I’ve always seem Ed to have this problem. Try message your breast while pumping. Maybe switch up your settings.
Hi,
Why do you think it has decreased? 😊
How old is your LO? How often does baby eat?
@mygirlsaretheexception, thank you so much for your help not gonna lie I cried reading this it means so much to me that you took the time to talk to me, help me and say such kind words you have made me feel a sense of relief and made me feel like I can really do this I can’t thank you enough ❤️
@arietti52717, because you CAN do this, no matter which route you choose❤️ good luck mama!
Yesss! lots of water and maybe try pumping so it can send a message to your milk glands to keep producing
My supply also dropped at 4months😔. Unfortunately, I tried what I could and it didn’t work. I now only get about 1-2oz A DAY, and feel so defeated. Good luck, I hope you have a better outcome 😊💚.
