Milk supply

A • Wed, Feb 19

I had my baby 5 days ago and not allowed to hold him due to being so early so exclusively pumping since that night. Today and last night I feel like I'm not getting as much when I pump as I had been. What can I do to increase my supply?

Body Armour drinks, Coconut water. Oat milk, oatmeal, lactation cookies, Avacado!! Water LOTS of water-90oz!! Make sure you pump every 2hrs and put nipple ointment on before you pump!! Also don't concentrate on your out put. Look at pictures of your baby and or watch tv to distract you. Please also make sure your flanges are the correct size!! :)

You should be until you begin breast feeding if that is the plan. The goal is to feed as much as baby needs a bottle. If I skipped a breastfeeding session (in the first month I BF) I would replace it with a pump.
