Increasing milk supply suggestions?

Question

Mommy’s who breast feed or have, how did you increase your supply of milk? I can’t seem to get past being able to get 5oz at a time.. any advice is greatly appreciated!🥰🥰 ** I mainly pump and feed as it seems to work better. My son chokes when breast feeding because so much milk comes out at once then just stops once I’m close to empty lol. A preemie nipple and bottle work best for now as he gags and pukes when feeding from the boob**

Answer

5 oz is actually pretty good! Your body usually only produces what baby needs. You also get the most milk in the morning and then production slows throughout the day. You’ll make more milk as baby needs it. But I have tried mother’s milk tea and oatmeal cookies when I felt like my supply was dipping in the past and it always seemed to do the trick. And FYI the mothers milk tea will make your sweat smell like maple syrup lol.

I've been told by my sister in law to drink a stout beer. She had 2 last night and her milk supply increased double she said. She had a c section so she's had trouble

Answer

Drink a ton of water. I also had a glass of malt ovaltine daily. Something about the malt is supposed to help. Oatmeal is supposed to help too. But 5 ounces is pretty good, especially if you’re not that far post partum!

Answer

My sister used body armor drinks

Answer

Yup I was going to say 5 oz is pretty good. Make sure you are drinking a MINIMUM of 100ozs of water a day

Answer

You could try power pumping

Answer

That’s hilarious! At least it’s a good smell and not a bad one! Lol thank you so much 🥰

Answer

5oz is actually great! But if you’re still wanting more, pump for longer duration of time (you’ll start to notice a difference the next time and the next time etc.) and/or more often. Stay hydrated and eat healthy food, with oats in it if possible. I ate lots of oatmeal with breastfeeding my first baby. Also having baby close to you or looking at a picture or videos of baby while pumping. Sometimes gently massaging the breast while pumping also helps. It’s a supply and demand thing. If you increase your demand, hormones will increase and so will supply.

Answer

Fenugreek tea

Had someone recommend this as well. Thought I’d share for anyone who may read this post wondering the same thing. Seems to be worth a shot!
