How do I get a good milk supply?

Question

I am 4 days pp and my milk still hasn’t come in. I have been feeding my baby and I also have to supplement with formula since he lost over 8% of his body weight and is almost jaundice. I always put him on my breast first until he starts crying because he doesn’t get enough milk. Is there anything else I can do to help get my supply up

Answer

Did you get pictocin? My milk was delayed by a few days and the lactation consultant/nurse told me it was because of the pictocin. I did lots and lots of skin to skin and lactation cookies.

Answer

Your milk won’t come in right away... your dr should’ve explained how it all works.

Answer

Use sns or syringe to feed baby the formula not a bottle. And keep baby nursing as much and as long as baby wants.

Answer

Lactation cookies, Mother’s milk tea, and supplements helped me when my milk supply was low. After two day my boobs were so full they were like cheap implants about to pop.

Answer

Do you have a pump? You could try and pump a few extra times in between his feeds.

Answer

Pump in between feeds!
