Mother’s milk tea

Almost IMMEDIATELY I brought it to the hospital with me and bought a 6 pack on Amazon. I drink it during the day and chamomile at night

I’m hopeful! After everything I’ve read, I ordered this week! Keep you posted

Okay feeling hopeful! How much did your supply increase?

Hi . Lc here. I would advise not to drink this tea as fenugreek can actually decrease supply for some. Are you having supply issues? Happy to help.

Really, the only way to increase supply is through demand.

my first week pp I was pumping 8-10oz

Each time

not saying with judgement 🩷.Just offering some clarity, for others. It is pretty normal to pump that amount in the first week as that well before our bodies regulate, not necessarily due to the tea. Especially, if you were doing so in addition to nursing (which isn’t recommended that early unless necessary with the few exceptions).

yea my son had jaundice and we were stuck in the hospital for a week and they were going to make me supplement with formula, I def needed the boost and I had an episiotomy that didn’t heal and they put me on estrogen topical and the day I didn’t have it my supply was noticeably lower

That’s just me tho I also started using the Legendairy supplements without fenugreek they weren’t as effective so made me kinda gassy

yes I’m not producing enough for my son who takes about 4oz every 2-3 hours and I only produce 1-2oz

that’s a stressful experience.
Hopefully you had a lactation consultant measuring you.
I won’t go into it but there are a lot of factors there. I’m glad you were able to by pass supplementing.

do you nurse as well or exclusively pumping?

What pump are you using?

How often do you pump and how many times a day?

Have you measured yourself for flange size or using what came with your pump.

Do you pace feed bottles?

Lots of questions but very important info so that I can know.

I nurse as well. The pump I use is the Spectra S1 I think. I pump every 3 hours and like every 4-5 at night. I was initially using the wrong flange size because one of my nipples was inverted and I didn’t realize it was the wrong size. I just started pace feeding

Okay, so you are actually pumping a normal amount. .5-2 oz per session is a normal output for a nursing mom.

Are you pumping after a nursing session or are these pumping sessions for missed feedings? Like while you’re at work.

Have you replaced any of your pump parts? Depending on how long you’ve been using your pump, you may need to replace some parts.

If I nurse before I’ll only get 1 oz pumped and if I pump without nursing I get 2-2.5oz but so either way I have to give my son formula after. And No I figured I still had a couple months before having to replace parts
