I'm afraid my supply is dropping 😢 TIPS PLZ?!

Question

I'm trying so hard to breastfeed my daughter (3rd baby), but I'm afraid that my anxiety and stress is causing my supply to dry up. This happened with my first around the same age and I had to switch him to formula, but she won't take formula and I don't have much frozen breastmilk. Any tips for boosting supply fast???

Answer

Why do you think supply is dropping?? I mirror all questions asked by @beem.

Answer

Why do you think it’s dropping? Is baby losing weight? Less wet and poop diapers? Have you seen a ibclc? Have you done a weighted feed? Do you have the right sizes flanges?

Answer

Drink 70 ounces of water a day, take beef organ pills, eat red meat daily, exercise daily and your supply with sky rocket. That’s what I’ve been doing and I have an oversupply now. From a nursing mama of two.

Answer

Do you have a pump? If so , look up power pumping

Answer

At her last checkup she had only gained 11 oz in two months, so they want me to start pumping twice a day and supplementing bottles and start solids. She has plenty of wet diapers and sleeps great, but dr thinks she's not getting enough still.

Answer

I have also been under an immense amount of stress in the last couple months. It just feels like when she nurses she doesn't get much from me and only uses me for a pacifier.
