Any tips on getting supply back up please!

I’ve been having health issues for about a month now and have been struggling with breastfeeding due to it. My supply took a hit and I definitely don’t make enough for my 5 month old. Can I get it back up still? Please help! 🥺

Yes you can definitely get it back up!! Hydrate with lots of electrolytes and water. And up your calorie intake. Other than that it really comes down to nursing as much as possible.

Most effective way to get it back up is nurse nurse nurse. Power pumps a few times a week. Pump after feedings for only a short time.

I’ve stopped pumping for multiple feedings for a few days in a row, he’ll eat and then get angry so I’ll try to express but nothing comes out and I’m empty. I used to pump 3-4 oz if I skipped a feed but now I’m lucky to get 1 oz
