Common Questions and Answers about How can i make my breasts produce milk
breast
However, I know when he feeds he is only getting 2-3oz from me and then he wants more so I have to resort to formula. He is a big boy and eats about 7oz per feeding. How can I produce more then 2-3oz. I have changed my diet and pump every 2 hours (as the book mentions) to hope that this will make more milk. What can I do? How can I get it so that I don't have to resort to formula?
Make sure you're drinking lotssss of water! Oatmeal or granola bars with oats in them, carrots, mixed nuts (cashews,almonds, macadamia ect.)
Cookies!
Not just any cookie, but special lactation cookies.
You’ll need:
1 cup of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons of flax seed meal (don’t skip this step, and no substitutions!
All size boobs are able to produce milk as far as I know. With my first I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and was a dd and had a slow start to producing milk. With my second I barely gained any weight so my boobs stayed their regular size, b, and I had an over production of milk. I had to pump after I was done feeding in order to be comfortable. I wouldn't be worried. Some women's milk doesn't come in until a day or two after the babies born!
Real milk doesn't usually come in until a few days after birth. If its colostrum you are thinking of it varies. With my first pregnancy I didn't leak prior to baby. With my second it was like a week or two before delivery and with my recent pregnancy I was 23 weeks pregnant but with this last pregnancy my breasts didn't get any larger until after delivery.
I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I already have milk coming out. It's been happening since i was 17 weeks. My doctor told me that it means I will make a lot of milk. I'm a 38D.
How will I know if I can produce milk or not? I'm 32 weeks and I haven't experienced any leaking. I do feel tenderness in my breast and nipples, and I can feel something hardening (milk ducts?)
I am committed to breastfeeding my child but I'm so worried it won't happen for me since my mom was incapable of doing so for me or my sister.
I know it might take like 5 days after the baby is born to start producing. Are there any tips to kind of get that going? Diet wise?
It wouldn't hurt to do a pregnancy test. What sort of bleeding did you experience? Normal period bleeding or light spotting? Sometime you can bleed in early pregnancy. Do you have any other pregnancy symptoms?
Ok, I'm 27 and this is my second pregnancy. I have a 5 year old and am 23 weeks 4 days with another boy. My question is, with my first I didn't produce breast milk at all. I have PCOS and figured that was the cause. This time though early on I had pain in my breasts and since about week 20 have noticed where my nipples hurt and if pressed some clear liquid would come out.
What time did u have ur baby? The pitocin doesn't have anything to do with u not producing milk by now as it usually takes anywhere from 2-3 days after u have the baby for ur body to produce milk. Just keep trying to breastfeed and it should come. It always does even if it's not a whole lot. If I were u I would pump and breastfeed to stimulate ur breasts. keep it up, ull have ur milk..
I'm 23w3d and mine seem to still be the same, just abit bigger, but not sore or anything. I don't know if I should be producing milk yet or not, or whether each woman is different :/ but there is hardly any change with my boobs.
Is this normal? And will my breasts start leaking because I did that? Also, will they continue to produce colostrum until the baby is born or once it comes out, then milk starts being made. I have no idea how any of that works and clearly I'm a ftm. I plan on breast feeding but this just threw me off a bit.
