Baby came early - I’m a milk machine

Stephanie

My due date was Jan 1 and baby decided to come 12/21! Healthy boy, a bit of jaundice so we stayed at the hospital for a few days.

While there I pumped a little to get some colostrum and when I got home, also pumped a little.

I read a book about lactogenic foods to help your bm supply. I could barely keep up my supply when I had my daughter so I’m trying everything I can to have a good supply this time.

I have been eating a half cup of oatmeal with a tbsp of chia seeds and a tbsp of flax seeds with a 1/2 of vanilla almond milk for breakfast. I make it as overnight oats so it’s ready in the morning and DANG, do I have milk!

My boy is only 6 days old and I pumped 5.5 oz tonight.

If you plan on BF - give this a whirl!
