breast milk supply one side

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??

Im getting about 2 oz from each side every pump is that average? @ktowne hes doin ok. Hes not eating too great. So they hooked him up to a feeding tube hopefully he doesn't need it long.

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

If he refuses it but still acts hungry, offer the other breast. The longer he feeds on one side, the more hind milk he gets, which is super fatty and good for him. It also tells your boobs to make more milk so supply isn't as much of an issue.

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.

t the right forum but I feel more comfortable asking questions here...I had my daughter on the 9th and at first I had a really good milk supply where my breast would become engorged every two hours if I didn't pump or feed regularly....and I was pumping 2/3 ounces from each breast every time.....now I can hardly get an half an ounce :(....I try to have my daughter on my breast every two hours but it seems like she gets so irritated because nothing is coming out....

When I was building up supply I would feed my son on one side and pump on the other then when he was done go ahead and pump on the side he was just on too I just wouldnt pump on the other side again until he was ready to feed again so I had something in there for him

The more the baby nurses the more milk you will produce. 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.

I agree it shouldn't hurt if the baby has a proper latch. it can be a bit uncomfortable when your breasts are full and the baby first begins to suck, but as soon as milk begins to let down the discomfort should ease. I honestly believe that smaller breasts are an advantage while breastfeeding. I have (now)36EE's and while BFing I had FF's...so trying to maneuver the nipple was difficult and it was almost easy to move baby around to fit the nipple instead of vice versa...

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.

s no redness or warmth it just hurts a bit when I push my breast inward from the side. This right breast was the one that produced more milk than the other but now both just feel soft. Like I said, I'm still able to nurse. But why do they feel so squishy when before they would get full & heavy? Is there anything I can do to boost my milk supply?

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.

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.

t have enough milk supply for my little one as I would notice he would be hungry and want to feed every hour but only for about 10 min or so then he'd fall asleep and repeat this for a few hours in the afternoon. I literally feel like all I was doing is sitting down and feeding him. Now I have to supplement with formula so that he gets enough food and then he is much more content and won't fuss every hour.

t feed on still has milk but very little. My breast is actually smaller than the other. I was wondering if I could get the milk supply in that breast back up to match the other one or is it gone for good?

So I finally got a pump today to get all my milk out and now it looks like I wont be making as much milk. Is there anything I can take to increase my milk supply?? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Yup thats it!! Some woman leak quite alot while others don't. Whether you do or you don't, won't determine your milk supply. Keep putting baby on the breast to help stimulate the flow. Yehh I'm sure you'll be fine!

ve noticed my milk supply is very different on each side. This morning I fed her for about 10 min each side then I pumped and managed to get 5oz out of one side but only 1oz the other side. Can anybody suggest something to help get the other side producing the same amount?

I have been pumping and storing breast milk for my princess and it seams like the amount is slowing down what can I do to get it back up I do not want to give her formula at all!

You'll produce milk after birth and then 10 days you should get your full supply in. Baby's can only hold a tablespoon of milk in their tummy until 6 days old so dont worry and they also make vitamins and teas for moms to help boost the supply.

For women breastfeeding, fenugreek seeds are used to help increase milk supply. Taking Fenugreek at the required amounts helps to increase breast milk, the only real side effect may be that their skin has a maple syrup smell. Fenugreek has been found to increase a women’s milk supply within 24-72 hours of taking the supplement. Once obtaining the results wanted, most women can decrease the amount of Fenugreek needed and stop all together.

def dont suppliment, it will be a growth spurt, just put him to breast as often as he wants and your milk supply will increase to his demands, also you shouldnt feel engorged anymore as your milk supply will be regulated by how much your bub is having :)
