Increase my supply?

Question

Is there any way I can increase my supply? I’m a FTM, my baby is 10 days old, and I feel like my milk is really low. 
I nurse on demand or at least every three hours. 
My pediatrician is having us supplement my son with formula because he had a severe case of jaundice.
His diaper count seems a little low to me if we don’t give him the formula, which is making me think he isn’t getting enough. Maybe I’m just being nervous because I’ve never done this before. Idk. 
Any tips or advice?

Answer

Make sure to pump every time baby is having formula. Keep nursing every chance you have.

Answer

Keep nursing on demand and pump when possible. After your baby eats from one boob, try changing the diaper and then offering the other boob. I thought I’d never have enough for my baby too but 6 months later and ebf, we are both healthy and happy! Keep up the good work! Also you can try lactation teas and food. I heard oatmeal is helpful. I used up spring milkflow drink mix in my waterbottle every other day too. Berry flavor. Not delicious but not gross and I thought it did help.

Answer

It's supply and demand so every time hers having formula your boobs aren't getting the signal that they need to make more milk. So why not have your partner give them the bottle and you express then. Also plenty of water, and oats are good too, the more milk removed the more your boobs will produce. Also is he's constantly on it'll be due to cluster feeding which is normal and he will be upping your supply for you so don't think you're not producing enough when this happens

Answer

Remember to eat well, stay hydrated, keep taking prenatals, nurse often, skin to skin, sleep as well as you can. Talk to a lactation consultant :)

Answer

Look up how to use SNS instead of bottles. That way baby suckle and sends signals for you body to produce. And you don’t risk baby starting to preferring a bottle.
