How to increase breastmilk supply?
Hey mums, I’m feeding my child through expressed breastmilk and I express around 8-10times a day but the supply is constant for months now, it’s not increasing, it was enough for my 3months old child but now he’s 4 and a half and there’s a need to increase his feed amount, what can I do? I have tried drinking various teas, oats, power pumping, good sleep etc but it’s not working😒 please help🙏

Usually babies don't increase the amount of breastmilk they drink after a couple months as the milk adapts and increases in calories and relevant nutrients. Does he show signs of still being hungry after a feed or is it just him getting older that makes you think he needs more?

The only way to increase supply is milk removal; putting baby to the breast is the most effective way. What makes you think that you have low supply? Why do you think he needs to increase? Xx
