Can consider lactation cookies/oats or supplements, green Papaya fish soup n other foods etc , Can Google a list of boosting foods for milk supply , every mamas has diff boosters can be food or drink / supplements. Must drink alot of water daily. I avoid eating cabbage. I took supplements. It helped me.

Breast feeding issue

Hello mommies, whenever I pump my yield is very little so I reckon it doesn’t meet my 5mo needs fully so I supplement with fm, but sometimes when I latch her, and supplement with fm after that she either rejected or drink only 30-40ml, does that mean that my bm is actually almost enough for her?

seek help from a lactation consultant. what I understsnd is baby could be more efficient in clearing breasts vs pump

Hi for Asian mothers, what flange sizes are you using?

You will have to measure and get your own flange. Everyone is different.

Baby drinking less at night

Hi mummies, My baby is around 5 weeks old. I’m exclusively pumping. I feed her every 3-4 hours and she usually drinks 120ml per feed on schedule. At night this 2 days, she drinks only 50ml-80ml and rejects the bottle no matter how hard I try. It seems she just wants to go back to sleep. I tried offering my breast directly but itshe rejected too. One thing I noticed is when I feed on schedule, she can’t seem to finish the bottle. When I feed on demand, she can. But I’m worried feeding on demand is too long a span from her last feed as it usually exceeds 4 hours. Is this normal? I’m just worried she’s drinking too little per day. She doesn’t appear to be irritated, still smiling and active most of the time.

NB usually sleeps most of the time and will only wake up for a feed. 120ml per feed is alot (my LO used to feed 60ml only per feed and wakes up every 2 hrs) & that probably makes her feel too full before she wakes up in 4 hrs time. Also means she's well hydrated and will only wake up when it's time for her to feed. So follow her cue.

Very little breastmilk output despite efforts

Could some people just not have enough breastmilk to feed baby? I've spent so much money on lactation massages, consultants, cookies, tea, juice, food, pumps and I am still pumping no more than 70ml each session. Wanted to bf baby exclusively partly because we wanted to save money on fm. Turns out that the few thousand dollars I spent is more than sufficient to buy 100 tins of fm. I'm so tired and depress and demoralise each time i see the output after pumping. Baby keeps crying because i can't produce enough milk for her.
