breastfeeding help?

Question

Hi mommies & the mommy to be! I'm breastfeeding with my first child... due in 27 days. I was wondering what stuff I can eat, drink, take, to get my breast milk going and make sure I produce enough to keep going. I saw one mom using some kind of tea? What worked for you guys, prices and where can I get it??

Answer

Fenugreek pills from mother love. They were super helpful in helping increase my supply when it was low

Answer

I pump 60+ ounces a day..exclusively pump. The most advice I could give would be to pump  for 20 minutes after baby nurses when they are born.

Answer

I read into this before my first but the conclusion I came to was that there isn't really any magic thing you can do. Your body should (all being well) naturally provide the right consistency and amount of breastmilk that your baby needs - which will be different one day to the next. Lots of skin to skin in first weeks will help stimulate production if it's slow to start. Expressing may have helped others so that might work well for you but often it can overstimulate and you will find you have to continue to do that! Not always possible. x

Answer

Nothing right now, if you have problems w supply after baby is born there are things you can take. Good luck!! Breastfeeding ended up being really hard for us and I wish I had done more to know what I was doing.

Answer

I didn't really take any supplements but in general make sure you are well hydrated. Whenever I didn't drink enough, my supply was affected. I used to eat a lot of sesame I think someone told me at that point that it helps but that was 6 years ago.
Also what I used to do from day one was feed the baby (he usually emptied a side and took a little from the other) then I'd pump whatever was remaining and I'd run the pump a few minutes after the milk stopped to signal that more milk was needed.

Answer

I have the tea it's called Mother's Milk and I found it at Walmart I love it if drink it once in a while just to help keep my supply.

Answer

Pump daily! It's magic! 
Also try lactation tea and cookies, you can order them from amazon

Answer

Please wait to take the fenugreek after baby is here!!!

I agree though it works really well 🍼
