Any idea how to boost my breast milk yield. My 7 week old baby drinks 4oz per feed and sadly I only produce one third of what she is drinking now. Tried all the possible milk boosters. Considering power pumping. I heard that power pumping is effective in increasing yield. May I know once yield has increased, should I stop power pumping altogether?

Hi I’m one of those who don’t DL Cos my bb doesn’t like the fast flow of milk. He gets cranky so I pump out exclusively for him. I have tried a few ways such as lactation muffins (there are quite a few home based Bakers), oat meal for breakfast with Chia seed and flax seed husks, nursing tea such as by Puppa (available at Mothercare) and drink about 3-4 litres of water daily. Also read that bubble tea and Milo does help which also works for me. Keep trying k, mine did increase till I can feed him exclusively when previously he was about 30-40% on formula milk.
