Ant tips on what helps with milk supply?

Answer

She will get the benefits of breastmilk regardless. Now. Are you wanting to mainly give breastmilk? The more you give formula the less breastmilk you make. Supply and demand. The more you nurse/pump the more make.

Answer

If you want to provide more breast milk, drink plenty of water, eat and pump every 2-3 hours on a schedule. Give it a few days and you will see a difference.

Answer

Giving her any milk you can will be beneficial, unless it is is severely impacting your mental health to pump. It is normal to make.less milk as the day goes on. That milk that you do make tends to have higher calories than the morning milk. I had to supplement with formula for the first month, but I am an exclusive pumper now at 8 months pp. Your supply doesn't regulate until 3 months, so you definitely still have time to establish your supply. Rescently, I have found that doing a 15 minute pump and then taking a bit of a break before pumping for.another 15 or 20 helps me make my target better than pumping for 30-40 mins straight. Also, are you using the proper flange size? A lactation consultant could.help you better, but in general, flange should bea mm or 2 bigger than your nipple diametre. The ones the pumps come with are often too big. Also, continue to take your prenatal vitamins.

Answer

Eat lots of protein and also pump for 20-30 minutes. My milk would stop coming out but I'd keep pumping and about 5 minutes later the thick milk would come out.

Answer

Some breast milk is better than none. ❤️
