How to reestablish lost supply?

Question

Could use some advice with increasing my supply, sadly it's almost gone this past week for some reason. I've gone from from pumping 100ml+ from each breast to barely getting 30ml. I've tried increasing pumps and breastfeeding every 2 hours instead of 3, taking fenugreek, oatmeal and lots of water and still haven't seen any difference. I've even been pumping 35 minutes EACH breast and not getting more than 40mls so it's gotten pretty bad...😢

Answer

Have you tried power pumping? My supply started to drop around 3 weeks so I tried that. For one hour I would pump for 15 off for 10 and continue on. I would do that once or twice a day for a few days. By the  end of the week I saw a 2 oz increase in supply.

Answer

Might be the fenugreek - it kills supply for many

Answer

Will your baby latch?

Answer

Make sure you are getting lots of water, i try ti drink a bottle every time i pump or nurse, i also have been drinking pineapple juice everyday. I ran out last week and didnt get as much water and noticed a decrease. So i bought more juice and drank more water and i have already noticed an increase towards my previous pumping amt. good luck momma.

Answer

Not without a nipple shield. He had his lip clipped at 2 weeks old, and has only latched on without a shield a handful of times. I use the Medela nipple shield and he likes it pretty well.
