How much do you pump after a week?
Hey mummies, how’s your volume after a week’s pump? Mine’s like 30-40ml in a session… having been able to breakthrough from this volume yet. Tips anyone?

How many weeks pp are you? If you're 4 mths & above, your supply would have regulated already but still can increase. I struggle with the same amount as you. My baby used to DL but he has refused to nurse so I stopped DL and pumping then regret the decision. I gave up with taking supplements. Took legendairy milk & Mizedalle and see no effect on LM but only the latter and because I'm a housewife I see no reason on why I should waste money on lactation products so I started to power pump for a few days and drink lots of water. I used to drink oats & quinoa milk which you can easily buy at supermarkets and surprisingly it works for me! Power pump really works but you need to be efficient & do it for days. You'll have very sore nips and will only see the results probably a week or later but it's worth it rather than wasting money on lactation products that can't guarantee to boost your supply. Then pump as per normal every 2-4 hrs for 20 mins. The more you clear, the more you'll get a good supply. Also do hand express after every pump. You'll see that you can actually get an extra oz when you do that.
