Hi mummies any tips on how to increase milk supply? I have been exclusively pumping for about 2 months now but I only have very little each time I pump. Does lactation cookies/tea works?

What is the pumped milk volume that is good to stop pumping?

I am in the midst of stopping breastfeeding so want to know when can I stop pumping totally since I heard that there will still be milk no matter what.

I stopped when I started pumping only 10ml for both sides, if got discomfort then I’ll just hand express abit.

I'm going back to work soon and unfortunately my job does not allow me to pump so frequently and on time. I used to pump 2 hourly and has gradually pulled the duration longer. now pumping 4 hourly yielding about 1.1L in total/day. I can't seem to find answers on google so I'm asking for help here. anybody with similar situation? I plan to drag out to pump 6 hourly instead but wish to keep supply at least 1L/day. how do I adjust? increase duration from 4 to 5 hourly then 6 hourly gradually? I'm worried supply will drop as my body thought I don't need so much milk. TIA.

I think it depends on your body, there’s no right answer. You can try to increase to 5 hours first then 6 hours in case you feel too engorged too. If the total amount for 6 hours is less than what you want then I think you can always increase the frequency again first then slowly taper

A pacifier for infant can fulfill the ‘suck reflex’ that may linger on after breastfeeding or bottle feeding. https://shope.ee/8zeXTmXLwI

Low breastmilk supply

I am 22 days postpartum and am struggling with low supply. I pump around 30 ml a pump and do it every 2/3 hours. Daily, I yield slightly more than 300ml. I even invited a lactation consultant over, who taught me pumping techniques to increase milk supply….i also tried lactation cookies, green papaya fish soup, and am currently taking fenugreek and domperidone. Do you know if milk supply is expected to increase after 1 month? My last resort is to try the almond milk from 2nutguys

Nipple bleed after pumping

Hello, new mum here. I was pumping milk on my breasts. 15 min on each side for 2 rounds. On my last round, the last nipple suddenly bleeds after I was done. Wanted to know if this is normal? Anyone have experienced this before? Is it because the pumping is a little strong or is there something I should be worried about? Need some advice pls.

Sudden drop in supply

Feeling so defeated by my breastfeeding journey I have a low supply and have been trying many ways to build up my supply as I have always dream of bf my baby till 1yo. Baby unfortunately does not latch at all. I powerpump twice a day almost every day, and pumping 8 to 9 times a day. However when my husband went back to work, I could only pump 6 to 7 times. I have also been ordering meals that supposedly boost lactation, spamming water, taking lecithin, munching on lactation cookies etc. My flange size has also been measured by an LC, and I'm using a hospital grade pump. The only thing is there's a 5hr gap between my pump sessions in motn for me to rest. With all these, I still yield about 50ml on average. Recently my supply seems to be decreasing despite having no change in routines. Should I be giving up 😔
