Are you breastfeeding and struggling with low milk supply?

Hi there! You must feel quite frustrated and demoralised by the low milk supply. I truly hope my answer will help shed some light! There are two types of low milk supply - perceived low milk supply and actual low milk supply. Perceived low milk supply is often due to: - Incorrect breastfeeding techniques and poor latch - A delay to kickstart breastfeeding after childbirth - Prolonged feeding / pumping intervals - Mistaking baby's fussiness at breastfeeding for lack of milk (fussiness could be due to so many other reasons) Actual low milk supply may be due to: - Medical conditions - Physiological conditions The very first step is to speak with an IBCLC to determine if the low milk supply situation is perceived or actual. It is only through that proper strategies can be put in place to support your breastfeeding journey and goals. Hope this helps!
