Help breastmilk?

Question

I have a week old baby and I’m wondering what will help me produce more milk. I think I’m doing good right now i get about an oz or 2 from each between 2 to 3 hours. It starts to get low and I’m worrying about not making enough for her next feeding. I’m just pumping now because she had bad nipple confusion from being formula fed because I was producing anything at first. Any good food or tips is much appreciated! 💕☺️

Answer

Try getting her to latch on in between feeds just to suck for comfort.. the more she stimulates your breasts the more milk they'll make.. also the more familiar she is with you then hopefully she'll get over her nipple confusion. Good luck!!

Answer

Pumping will not produce as much as being on the breast will. The best thing to increase your supply is breastfeeding as often as possible...supply and demand as they say. If you really do want to keep pumping and bottle feeding then perhaps just try to breastfeed between bottles?

Answer

Drink plenty of water! You need to be hydrated to produce milk also.

Answer

yes try as much as possible to put her on the breast as this is what will help you produce more.  if you can, seek out advice from a lactation consultant. I personally use fenugreek capsules which have worked for me. but you need to check the correct dose for breastmilk production (i.e. take enough for it to have any impact ). good luck !

Answer

If she's only a week old I would keep trying to get her to latch on, that's the best way to increase supply.

Answer

I love the lactation plus supplement from the honest company I take one when my daughter cluster feeds and I drink an extra liter of water and bang extra breastmilk. Make sure you drink enough water!
