exclusively pumping

Chelsea • Sat, Feb 11

My baby is 3 weeks old and I have a rather low milk supply. I can typically get an ounce from both breasts during a 15-20 minute pumping session. It's not enough and we're supplementing with formula. Any tips on how to get more from pumping?

I'm sure there's a ton of great tips but for me it's as simple as making sure I'm hydrated, I have to drink a ton of water. Makes a huge difference for my supply :)

I drink probably a gallon a day and i get 8-12 oz every 3 hours! Being hydrated definitely helps me!

Try drinking "Mother's Milk" tea. It's done wonders for me. Aside from drinking water, getting enough rest will help. Good luck
