Hey guys! My milk supply has been very low so been doing combination. I saw a breastfeeding specialist who stated I should lease out a hospital milk pump which will help stimulate my milk supply she said to use it daily for a week and I will see my milk supply increase. Yesterday I had over 1 ounce of milk and was over the moon. Today nothing any advice on why this could be ?? Anyone experience the same ? Please. Thank you.

Drink lots of water 128 oz is recommended for breastfeeding moms. Sleep, low stress and making sure you’re eating healthy foods all can affect your milk supply. Oatmeal is great to eat for milk! I know it can be super hard to make sure you’re getting everything you need while taking care of a new baby. Keep letting baby suck even if there’s no milk, the stimulation is suppose to help trigger your body to produce more. I hope that helps!! ❤️

In the beginning it’s important to remember the more that is removed the more that will be produced. Are you power pumping or breastfeeding alone?
