Milk supply still not improving
Hello, i posted maybe a week or 2 back then regards on my milk supply dropping and im exclusive pumping. I have tried all the method where mummies tell me to drink kurma milk, eating oats, power pumping etc Isit due to my boobs capacity? or is there anothef way i csn try again?
My LC told me tt exclusively pumping moms may have this supply issue more than breastfeeding moms as babies are actually most efficient in prolactin release rather than pumps. If all else fails even aft trying supplements, it may be insufficient glandular tissue or endocrine disorder but then again no one can diagnose unless u go for in-depth check. Low breast capacity will not necessarily result in low milk supply as some moms may still be able to replenish fast, so need to pump or breastfeed more often. Anw know tt it does take alot of time for some moms to get their milk supply up. I took abt 2.5 months to increase my supply (breastfeed and pump) but I still supplement with formula once a day. My friend took close to 5 mths to get her milk supply up and now manage to exclusively breastfeed at 8 mths but it took her lots of effort, patience and many expensive LC consults as she was so determined to stop giving her baby formula milk. Do what u think is best but pls don't pressure urself, the more stressed u feel, the harder it is to increase ur supply.
