Low milk supply, any suggestions please?

Don’t feel stress. 🤗 just try and top up with FM if not enough. It is ok. During my confinement, my confinement nanny cooked salmon and different type of fish, lotsa soup (lunch and dinner) and a thermos of red date tea (1.5 litre). It boosted my milk production (volume and creaminess). FYI, I started with 40- 50ml to become 120 ml each pump (not sure if it was bcos of the confinement meals). After confinement, I make my own red date tea (1.5litre), take a big bowl of overnight oats for breakfast, drink soya milk (1 litre) and pump every 3-4 hours after nursing to keep the supply. I also take dates and nuts as snacks. So far manage to keep the supply.

Hello, cook green papaya fish soup for yourself. Fenugreek is milk killer for some people. Have you check your flange size? Isit the correct size for your nipple as i heard it will affect your output. Im a total breastfeed mummy, but if i try pump my milk wont come out 😅 but if i use hakka, easily 150ml within few min. My baby is now 3 months ish growing steadily. I offered the breast whenever baby cry and latch her as long she wants. (ditch the timer/clock) as sometimes baby have not done when 10-15mins is up.

Hi, same for me too! My baby is currently about 9weeks. My supply pick up from 4weeks onwards and started fully on BM on the 4-5weeks. How i did it: Let baby suck on breast every time she is hungry (ignoring my low supply first) then after 15-30mins of sucking, if she is still hungry, offer her FM. And my supply picked up slowly. I also ate alot of lactation cookies, fish and papaya soup, drink maternity milk, lactation tea. Pumping after nursing.

Hi mummy! Same goes as me.. they say its normal for 1st time mum to have low milk supply but we shouldnt stress out! As much as we want to BF them, we have already tried out very best. So what i did is i eat Oats and horlicks every morning to help boost my intake. It does help alil. Tried alot of supplements too but non really help much. So dont be sad mummy! Youre not alone! Just always stay positive!❤️❤️

Hi! I share the same issue and had low and unsteady supply until my baby reached 9 weeks. She is 10 weeks now and my supply has stabilised, allowing about 70ml per pump and 100ml in the morning. I just persisted in doing what I deemed right- pumping regularly, eating balanced diet, and spending more time cuddling my baby. Hope that your persistence will pay!

You dont be stress, seek advice from breastfeeding consultant. Also you can take in fenugreek, lactation cookies, cod fish, spinach, lots of plain water. Let baby suck on breast and pump 10 to 15 mins to stimulate more milk production. You can also massage your breast before pumping.

As per my experience dear, when you mostly eat green leafy vegetables it produces more milk specially when it soup :)

You can also go for lactation consulting. Baby express does have lactation consulting services for their users.

Yes sometimes it’s common but actually formula will work
