Might sound silly… but if I were to power pump every 2 hours, even if there is nothing coming from it, will this increase my supply for tomorrow? X

This is a good question. I don’t know but I’d also like to know the answer to this. Are you exclusively pumping and BF or are u adding formula too x

Power pumping is every 20 mins for 3 or 4 cycles, rather than every 2 hrs. To increase your supply try pumping after each time you breastfeed or between feeds for 5-10 mins. Up your food, eat loads of oats and allllllll the cake, loads of water, rest as much as poss and spend lots of time skin to skin with baby as the more oxytocin you have the more milk you'll make x

I was exclusively bf only time if use formula is if we were out…however the organic Kendamil makes her sick… my supply was amazing to begin with I think I took it for granted. I’m managing around 4oz each pump now… but it’s a struggle as she’s needing more milk, so I now have none left in the fridge for her. Relying on pumping on demand which is very restrictive x

I find that formulas makes my boy sick too. I had so much supply at the start and now my supply is so rubbish. I am barely getting 3 Oz. I put him on the boob for ages and then he’s still hungry. I’m assuming he isn’t latching correctly. I am going to go to a clinic on Monday to see if I can get support. I don’t have any in the fridge at all just now used my last bit. Going to try pumping jn a min but it it hardly gives me any. Plus the pump in the hospital was amazing 😂😂😂

I’m wondering if my pump isn’t as good as it was, the hospital have put a pump behind the desk for me to try but it’s getting there to collect it. I don’t actually breast feed her because she cannot stay latched and I find it easier knowing how much she’s having.
But not having a supply in the fridge is a struggle. I went from having 24oz in the fridge to now 6oz… as I was out all day the other day so had no time to pump🥲

what pump do u have

I have a nuby electric… it was really good for the first week but I feel like it’s lost it’s touch x
