How do you have a Forceful let down

Hi mummies, want know from those breast feeding mum , how do you have forceful let down? Is it by drink lots of water a day , take supplement , apply essential oil to boost milk production or drinking tea that boost milk to have a forceful let down? Or you had it effortlessly ? Breast feeding is tough, so envy those who have this "problem". I did things I mention, but not supplement, my milk supply is like 1 or 2 precious drop after 10sec of pumping..

For supply, yes drink lots of water/fluids, you also need to have adequate rest and latch often. Looking at my baby/hearing baby cry also stimulates the let down. If you say that pumping causes pain, it means that the pump is probably the wrong size. You need bigger pump parts so that there’s no direct friction on the nipple. It’s not supposed to cause nipple pain. Without pumping, keep latching baby on demand I guess. I do have forceful let downs sometimes, so much so that baby sometimes chokes.. so there are also downsides to it. What’s most important is that baby has enough to drink, so don’t worry too much about whether you have forceful let downs. You’re doing a great job, mummy!

Breastfeeding is really a tough job. All that you mention can help boost your supply. If you are latching, latch on demand can help. Frequent pumping can also help. You can try power pump.
