milk

Avatar f tn 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....
6036387 tn?1395008183 All I know is the more they feed off you the more milk your body makes. Its their suckling that stimulates the milk supply. I found pumping milk very hard esp in first few weeks.
7801868 tn?1395885718 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?
Avatar f tn Most women have no issues producing milk. I do. Oatmeal is a great food to help increase milk production. You can also Google recipes for cookies and other things that help supply. Please do not use these things unless you have an issue with supply. You don't want to over produce.
Avatar f tn What are natural ways to increase your break milk supply? I'm skeptical of trying medicine, are there natural ways that has actually worked you? I would like to hear 1st head experience. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Ive heard people use Fenugreek to increase milk supply.
Avatar f tn I have a friend printable hat swears by oatmeal. She eats it every mornibg and the one day she didn't eat oatmeal she pumped 4oz less than she usually does. I'm going to try it with my baby since I had auch a low supply with my first.
Avatar f tn Also pumping after feeding baby should help increase supply as well. The more baby feeds the more milk you should get. If theres still issues you can get tablets from doctor to help increase supply as well. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn Now that my son is up to 35cc of milk in a bottle plus 15-20 minutes breast feeding every 3 hours, my milk supply has plummeted. I thought the more he fed and the more I pumped the more milk I would produce. But it's the opposite. Now I'm barely making 20-25cc each time I pump. It's stressing me out. I don't want to put my son on formula but if I can't make enough milk to sustain his growth I don't have a choice.
Avatar n tn 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.
7473580 tn?1398228610 Oatmeal is awesome in helping produce more milk!! Also try Taking fenugreek capsules with another herb called blessed thisle. Both in capsules 3/5 times daily. There is also a great tea to add to those remedies, it's called Mother's Milk, it's awesome and very successful in helping increase milk supply (healthy lactation). You can find these online, in your local herb shop and some local grocery stores may carry them as well!! Congratulations mama!!
Avatar f tn Also eat oatmeal. I have oatmeal everyday for breakfast and my supply has gotten better.
8973962 tn?1410146883 I know oatmeal is good to increase milk supply. Also they sale some supplements otc. I cant remember the names but u can research it. I've been researching breast feeding alot as.I plan to breastfeed and this is my first baby. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn I used it with my second and it does help increase your milk supply, but remember to keep hydrated. Andbit does make pee smell like pancakes.
7055678 tn?1394847153 However, since beer is made from barley and hops, the reason some women report an increase in their milk supply after drinking beer is most likely a result of these two known galactagogues as opposed to the alcohol. The alcohol itself will not help you to make more breast milk. It can potentially help you to relax and therefore aid in the let-down of your milk, but it will not cause an increase in the amount of milk you produce.
Avatar f tn I'm breastfeeding my son and for about the past 24 hrs my left breast has not been producing much milk at all. I've noticed my breast has been smaller after long periods so I pumped to see and within a four hour period I will pump about 1 ounce. I don't just strictly have him on my breast. I pump as well. And store. My left breast has always produced less but now I feel as if I'm losing my milk supply. He's only 5 wks old and I do NOT want to stop breastfeeding.
Avatar f tn Pumping after your baby nurses and emptying both sides will increase milk supply. Also drink plenty of water. A little fennel essential oil, on the breast, not the nipple can increase milk quickly. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I pumped last time as well. At first I would get 4 ounces or so each time but towards the end I would barely get an ounce. I heard oatmeal helped too.
7143736 tn?1396242800 So this is for women that already have children. I feel as if my breast milk is starting to go away and I just want to cry. My baby is only 12 days old and I really wanna be able to breast feed her for the initial first six weeks and even farther on. What did you guys eat to help keep your milk supply up so you didn't have to worry bout it drying up?
Avatar f tn 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?
9590250 tn?1452831684 How to increase milk supply? One breast isn't producing milk anymore, what should I do?
10314571 tn?1428116218 What are the best foods AND products/supplements to get your breast milk supply up. All i can think about is my milk not coming in or not having enough.
Avatar f tn As much as it ***** to say it, sometimes you just can't make your supply increase. Not saying don't try just understand sometimes you can try everything and it not work. Pump right after you feed. And feed often. It's a supply and demand type system so more demand should build supply. Works most the time.

741877 tn?1265950200 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??
