Why is my breast milk supply low
Common Questions and Answers about Why is my breast milk supply low
milk
My baby was in the nicu and got used to using bottles and gets too frustrated to wait for my milk when breast feeding so he pulls away so I just pump and feed him using bottles but throughout the day my output is low and my stock in the fridge is running low, what can I do to quickly boost my supply?
So for the first week and a half my breasts were feeling full & heavy. My son is now 13 days old & since Wednesday my breasts have been feeling squishy & soft. I'm still able to nurse frequently & I only pump occasionally. But I'm worried that maybe my milk supply is running low & that I won't have enough for my baby. I also have some pain in my right breast. There's no redness or warmth it just hurts a bit when I push my breast inward from the side.
I believe it's pretty normal. The breast can leak colostrum as early as 16 weeks pregnant.
Hi my baby boy is 2 months already but i wanted to know if any mommas on here know what helps produce more breastmilk? My baby was born premature so my milk is helping him a lot. I've been pumping every of his feelings. (2-3 hours)
Please help. Want to produce more milk for my little man.
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....
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.
My first day after he was born I had to work very hard for a few drops but as the days went on I made more and more until I was able to fill 2oz containers each time I pumped. 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.
Thank you!
Any new moms having problems with breastfeeding? My daughter is 2 weeks old and my milk supply is still low when I pump it's only 1oz from both breast sometimes less so I had to put her on formula which breaks my heart because I wanted to exclusively breastfeed for 3 months and then do both when I go back to work but I had no choice.
MY friend just had her daughter she's two months she was breastfeeding but stopped said she wasn't producing enough milk I want to breast feed also work so I'm planning to pump I really don't want to formula feed my son how can I make sure I have that milk supply coming in besides I heard it had lots of benefits for me and my son like low risk of SIDS and my sons dads oldest son died from SIDS and also I know it will help me loss weight so I don't want to give up on breastfee
Agreed. I haven't taken anything and breastfed for 14 months. I never leaked or anything. What most women don't get is when your milk comes in its all supply and demand and when that doesn't work then take stuff.
Def dont mix up formula and breast milk made my daughter highly constipated. There is nipple cream at walmart you can get and also try taking a hot shower (breasts facing the faucet) and it will help let the milk come down and yeah you can pump that will help too if you have milk built up that baby isnt getting out.
