Mothers Milk?!?

Question

I had my daughter 3/17 she was 2 months early she is in NICU I've been pumping and bringing milk they keep going up on her milk intake  (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT) but I can't keep up. They told me to try Mothers Milk it's an herbal tea. Has anyone tried it before? How was it? What are some other things I can do to produce more milk? I'm pumping milk every 2-3hrs drinking plenty of water and getting sleep! I absolutely do not want her to have Similac!!! I feel like a terribly bad mother 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 #HELP

Answer

Also be sure they are doing paced feedings. You can't over feed a baby at the breast but you can by a bottle of not pacing the feeds and holding the bottle correctly. Do you nurse baby daily when there? How's the latch?

Answer

Kellymom.com the mothers milk works as does fenugreek pills. But honestly nursing/pumping in demand. Increase milk by increasing stimulation. Power pumping is great. I would start pumping every 1-2 hours during the day. Newborns nurse every 30 min to 1 hour in the first few weeks. Add oatmeal to your diet daily. If your not a fan then bake lactation cookies.

Answer

You're NOT a bad mother you're doing amazing pumping as much as your are and your baby is already getting the benefits of your breast milk. I haven't tried mothers milk but I ordered for myself as I am going to begin pumping. All the reviews are positive and people I know rave about it. Good luck to you and your baby. Remember your doing everything you can and that's what makes you a great mother.
