I’m really struggling with milk production. My baby is 8 weeks and I thought by now my milk would have caught up. She was exclusively breastfeed upto about 4/5 weeks on demand feeding but it just wasn’t cutting it and she was getting really upset as she was still hungry. So she is now combi, to which she feeds off me for about 30/40 minutes then formula if needed. When I’m pumping I’m lucky if I get 1oz from each breast and I don’t know what to do

Have you seen a lactation consultant?

I’m in the same situation here with my son 🥺 I hope we can figure it out!

Try power pumping. Not sure if it works/how well it works as I’ve only started today but hopefully it helps! X

Are you pumping after breastfeeding? It helps with milk production! Watch youtube videos and talk to a lactation consultant! :) also you might not be eating enough of the foods that help breast milk! Watch Tina B breastfeeding🥰

Are you using the correct flange size?

the size for pumping was my problem!

You can try lactation supplements that is what helped me legendairy milk brand has good lactation supplements and drink body armor twice a day.

thank you so much, I’m going to give power pumping a try x

yeah when I first started pumping I was getting nothing but changed flange and I do get a supply just not a lot

thank you

drink lots and lots of water! You’re supposed to drink 2 litres of water a day and that nearly doubles to 3.8 when breastfeeding. Don’t forget breast milk is made from your blood 🩵
