breastfeeding boot camp

Joanna • Sun, May 14

I am 4 weeks pp and only making 1 oz every pumping session (every 2 hours) .. my baby hardly nurses I give her my 1 oz and formula (3-4 oz in total) bc she has a bad tongue tie (getting fixed soon) i pump more than anything but I'm gonna try something completely new that consists of the following:

* Nursing her with my nipple shield even if the latch isn't perfect or she gets frustrated but my body will get signals that she's drinking & pumping for 15 min right after ! Then supplementing w/ formula (until I get my milk supply up then I'll only feed her bm)

I heard it takes about 6 days for milk to increase if I do this strictly and consistently so I wanted to share this with any mommas who are struggling like me..

If you're experienced and savvy in this department, is this a good idea??
