Tips on how to up my supply? Pls help..

Question

My baby girl will be 9 months next week and I just found out Im pregnant (4w4d). I would like to continue to breastfeeding until my baby girl is 1. Last week I noticed my supply drop. I usually pump 13-16oz at work (9hours) but now Im only pumping 8-10oz. Baby girl drinks close to 15oz at childcare. I was lucky enough to build up a stash while on maternity leave, but Im now going through that stash real fast. Any tips on how to up my supply? I would love to continue breastfeeding for 3 more months. Please help! TIA

Answer

The same thing is happening to me. I wish I had answers for you but I'm following lol

Answer

Oatmeal, flaxseed, any healthy fat source, read up on other galactogogues if needed. There are lots to try. Lots of water! And know that most of the time a dip in supply is temporary, assuming your diet is nourishing and you're getting enough calories.
Due in 5 weeks with #2 here and still nursing my 1 1/2 year old once before bed! I don't have much and what I do have basically looks like water, but that just happened a couple weeks ago. Hoping to tandem nurse, if he wants to, once baby is here. Hoping he'll take to the milk again at least once, maybe twice a day, when it's back in completely since he's still in the routine of latching daily. We'll see! 🤞 Best of luck!

Answer

It’s hormone driven, not really anything you can do, eating a healthy diet like others have said will keep your milk nutritious & the best it can be but the dip in supply is out of your control, it’s not the same as building your supply up when not breastfeeding, that is completely possible, as this is hormone driven it’s different for each person, some dry up completely some a little dip, others no effect. I highly recommend a pregnant or tandem breastfeeding fb group to understand it better.
