Low breast milk supply for first time mom

I pump irregularly due to lack of rest but when I start pumping, my milk supply is low. How to increase milk supply??#advicepls

Totally understand you. Been there and struggled. If you don’t pump regularly to signal your body that it needs to produce more milk, the demand will naturally decrease. Our breast milk works like a supply and demand, so the lesser the milk removed, the lower the supply. Start pumping regularly (3hourly), add in a power pump till your supply is up. If baby can latch, latch. Drink lots of fluid. Most importantly, don’t stress. I know it sounds like BS to ask you to rest more and not stress but these two affects greatly on the supply. Sleep when baby is sleeping, invest in 2 sets of pump parts if you don’t want to wash immediately after pumping. Don’t look at the amount while pumping. Alternatively, can try sunflower lecithin and supplements. I ordered mine from Legendairy milk which helps for me.
