Drink lots and lots of water. I also found Gatorade worked for me too.
Make sure you're eating enough food. Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories!
I also found that eating oatmeal with blackstrap molasses drizzled over the top really boosted my milk supply.

Where can I find the oatmeal thingy lol sorry
watz··
just regular oatmeal. And blackstrap molasses can be found in most grocery stores.
I used this one but I'm sure there are other brands
You can also google recipies for lactation cookies. Those helped me too

The more you empty, the more you will produce. If you’re not emptying all the way or effectively, it can impact your supply

I’m only pumping every 2-3 hrs but I been getting only 2-3 oz not much 😭

try rinsing the flange in warm water. Or taking. A hot shower, it helps the milk flow out faster. You might also want to look into whether you are using the right size flange. Try massaging your breasts as you pump.

Well the first question is why are you pumping? You should be strictly nursing for the first 4 weeks. Your baby can empty you a lot better than a pump. Pumping will actually decrease your supply because it doesn’t empty you out and your body thinks to make less. Latch baby more often, like every hour if necessary. The more you nurse, the more you produce! Also drink lots of water and don’t skip meals. When you sit down to nurse have a bottle of water and a snack already on hand.

I do snack & drink a lot of water & im pumping bcuz latching baby is painful to me, plus he don’t really seem interested when I latch him. He stops after 2-3 mins on the boob

pain in the beginning is normal. It’ll be painful for the first 2 weeks. Just make sure he is latching deep enough, because a shallow latch will be more painful. Honestly you just have to push through. By giving him bottles he will develop a bottle preference and that’s why he won’t latch. It’s up to you, but I’m just saying if you want a successful nursing relationship you have to quit the bottles
