Exclusively pumping

Have you tried to power pump yet? When i exclusively pumped for my oldest I had this issues and had to power pump to help get my supply up.

I was producing extra and had started a freezer supply until my son started cluster feeding and increasing the amount he's feeding each time. I went from having extra to barely enough and even had to pull from my freezer stock. I've tried power pumping and adding an extra pumping session. I also started taking Moringa and Goat's Rue a few days ago, which seem to have made the biggest difference so far.

eat like a glutton 😩 with lots of fluids. that’s the only way i make alot sadly!

I eat a lot of oats and usually get between 8 to 12 oz per pumping session

@Felisha what’s power pumping?

@Esther is right. I only produce a lot when I eat and drink a lot.

@Talía I’ve been trying

My supply totally tanked despite all the lactation help, water drinking and power pumping. Seeing a consultant today, but feeling really down. Not hopeful we’ll be able to bring it back.

@Taylor that's a dream! I typically produce a little over 3 oz each time. Last night I got 7 oz for the first time and I was sooooo happy

@Arianna Power pumping is where you pump for 20 min rest for 10 min pump for 10 rest for 10 and then pump for 10

@Pamela the only downside is the constant engorgement and clogged milk ducts. Also my letdown is super fast so whenever I try to breastfeed from my boob my daughter ends up sick from drinking so fast. So I have to pump and give it to her in a bottle

I pump exclusively and I get 8-12 Oz per pumping session. I drink lots of water and drink a glass before and after I pump. My milk supply did tank once, then I realized that my flange size had become too large for my nipples so I ordered a smaller size and that helped. Finding a flange size that’s right for you really works wonders as well as finding a good schedule. Power pumping does help to build up supply, but once it supply is up I try to pump every 3 hours but at times I’m busy and I realize that 3/5 hours went by. I wish you success with your consultation hope you’re able to get your supply up
