Breastfeeding Mommies!?

Question

Hey nurture family! I’m 2 weeks, 2 days postpartum and I reaaallllly want to breastfeed babygirl. She latches a little bit my flow is slow so I pump. But after I had her and came home I have been eating /having a poor appetite. So it defeats the purpose of me breastfeeding her by that I have no good nutrients to give her.. can someone help me. Any advice?

Answer

The more you breastfeed the more milk you will produce. When my LO was first born he was feeding every 20 to 45 minutes. Now he feeds between 10 to 20 minutes. The shorter the feed the more milk you are producing

Answer

In all honesty it really doesn’t matter what you eat. Your babe is getting the important antibodies and immunities from your breast milk no matter your diet. Just try to drink enough water and keep taking your prenatals. I’ve had great results with drinking “Mothers Milk Tea” and eating oatmeal cookies to boost supply. I nursed my first successfully for 14 months. Good luck to you mama! And try not to stress yourself out, just go with the flow, and try to nurse on demand, that will also boost supply. The more baby nurses the more supply you will have.

Answer

Drink lots of water and breast feeding supplements won’t hurt either
