Tip for nursing ??

Question

I would like to breast fed baby past the age of 1. Any tips as to what foods to eat? What drinks to drink and what to avoid?? Any supplements? Or teas? 
Basically how did you mamas do it? Did you pump as well? Did you stay away from pumping? 
My baby is 12 days old and so far we are doing pretty good!

Answer

Just latch on demand. 
Drink plenty of water (80-120+oz in 24 hours). 
Try to only pump when away from baby. And if away from babe, you’ll need to pump as often as babe feeds (typically every 2-3 hours). 
That’s really it! It’s supply and demand! 
All other supplements are a gimmick.

Answer

I made my own lactation cookies but admittedly just liked to eat them and don’t know if they helped lol What did help me build a supply and not pump (because I am lazy) is using the Haaka. The side baby wasn’t nursing, I’d suction it on and would usually get 1 Oz every feeding which added up by the end of the day. The key for me was to just let her clusterfeed literally whenever, stay hydrated, and collect the extra. Pumping always seemed like an inconvenience to me if she was right there with my anyway lol

Answer

Water intake is definitely key..coconut water helps me a ton. My older son is 20 months and my little one is 5 months and I still have an over supply. I nurse the older one 3 times a day and the younger one on demand. I do not pump but do use a hakka to catch any let down. I’ve been able to collect about 100 bags for my frozen stash just from my hakka. My best friend swears by the legendary products for milk supply but i haven’t personally tried them. I have tried the munchkin lactation cookies and lemonade and I feel like they help when my supply is low. Also, I have noticed when i don’t eat hearty meals I’ll have less supply (my husband and I did a week of clean eating and my supply tanked). You definitely can do it :)

Answer

Just feed on demand. Supplements are only gimmicks and foods are all trial and error.
