increase breast milk supply by pumping

m pumping every 2hrs and drinking plenty of water. Does anyone have any suggestions to increase my milk?

this is also another reason why I thought my milk supply is dwindling... I did notice that after a nice warm shower my right breast is leaking milk.. I guess this is a good sign that there's still some milk there??

s also a tea called mothers milk tea you can get at gnc or vitamin shoppe and it also helps increase supply, it just tastes awful. Keep pumping and putting her to the breast every two hours or your supply will continue to drop. Definitely call an lc to ask about the dosage of fenugreek, etc. it really helps!

I want to start pumping more often to increase my supply so that way if i go somewhere i have milk put aside. Tonight i plan on having a few drinks and already have enough milk pumped for that. I find i dont get much when i pump, maybe 3 oz total from both boobs. I almost exclusively bf. How can i increase the amount im pumping? Any tips to help with pumping? Best times to pump?

Brittny and Clysta have given you some good advice. I also recommend checking out the Breastfeeding forum - I have learned a lot there. I would definitely invest in a good double pump if you will pumping a lot. The medela pump in style is one of the best. The general advice is to pump 15-20 minutes or 2-3 minutes after the milk stops flowing, which ever comes first. A double pump will stimulate more milk and cut your pumping time in half. How often are you pumping?

Hey ladies just wondering if there is anyway to increase milk supply besides pumping, I'm not feeling that full feeling anymore and blayde seems to have to suck a bit more than usual to stimulate me to let down, and i usually can get 150mls out of both breast after feeding but today could only get 50mls.

I've heard that breastfeeding regularly works better than the pump to improve supply. It's still early, keep trying. Your milk supply should kick in soon. Some women also take a supplement called milky which supposedly helps.

I breast fed my daughter and I always had extra to put in the fridge. I just had to pump at the time she usually had to feed and I kept producing alot of milk.

Then she will continue to suck and get breast milk. Pumping helps to increase milk supply and you could pump and feed while you transition.

Can wearing a sports bra to bed hurt my milk supply?!!!! They are so comfy to wear to bed!!!

Will my supply dry up if im only pumping every 3 hours during the day n not getting up at night to pump?

If your supplementing her after you you nurse you should pump both sides for 10-15 minutes after - even if you are not getting any milk when you pump. The stimulation of pumping will eventually increase your milk supply. If you don't then you will maintain the same milk supply that you have. Or just let her nurse for 15-20 mins each side, even if you think she isn't getting enough that too will increase the milk supply.

m curious though if any of you momma had an issue with supply by just pumping and not feeding straight from the boob?

Its their suckling that stimulates the milk supply. I found pumping milk very hard esp in first few weeks.

Nothing has been more depressing than going from making 10-12oz on average to barely pumping 4oz. My baby is only 2 weeks old. I don't understand how my milk supply has run out so fast. I want to cry. I am mostly pumping because my daughter has the hardest time latching. And bottle feeding is a lot easier due to schedules. Do any of you already moms have any tips to up your milk production?

Prolactin levels are at their peak between about 1am-5am so try and get at least one session in during this time frame to help increase your milk supply. Breast massage before and during pumping/nursing will also help increase your milk supply.

Mothers around the world have been using it obscurely as a natural way to increase breast milk, mothers produce copious amounts of highly nutritious milk for their infants. The term given an herb or food that increases the flow or production of breast milk is galactogogue. Moringa has been clinically proven to increase the production of breast milk whether it is consumed before or after the birth of a baby.

In order to increase your supply try pumping more often and leave the pump on for a minute or two after your breast is emptied. This will tell your body that it needs to produce more milk. I hope this helps!

After I pumped a few times I even started to pump one side while my son fed from the other (the football hold worked best when pumping the opposite side). Either way it will increase your supply because you are expressing more milk, make sure that you have nursing pads on hand if you haven't used them yet as you might become full quicker. If you are just pumping to have some to use while you are out you might want to try only once or twice a day so you don't start making too much.

Of course there are other ways to increase milk supply such as Mothers Milk tea, napping, double pumping, making sure you're drinking plenty of water, etc. Remember this: if you do chose to drink a beer, dark beer (Guiness for example) is the kind to drink, and you don't need more than 1.

yep stress can decrease the amount of milk your body makes, try increasing your fluid intake and also pump more to get your supply back, if your just pumping, its also quite hard to keep supply up so you may find that you have to increase the number of times your pumping anyway :)

That would be great to breastfeed for a month b4 exclusicely pumping. One thing that concerns me is with only pumping, you have to pump alot, like s s many times your baby feeds a day. & your milk comes in by supply & demand. So maybe, pump during the day, but breastfeed at night. Your supply goes up at night. I've breastfed all my kids. Tried the pumping thing, its very vigorous but u have to do it to go to school/work.

Are you pumping at least eight times a day? Breast milk is a supply and demand thing too. So pump or nurse more and try one of the above.

I wana know what can i do to increase my milk supply to fulfill his requirement i make sure i feed him quite often i ve used breast pump also but nothg seems to be working. Any help?
