Increase supply! 7 week PP

I am pumping every 3 hours for 20-25 min
Try to get in 1 power pump maybe 2 throughout the day but it’s hard.
I only pump 3-5oz(if even) at a session (both breast combined)
I’ve been drinking body armor, coconut water, staying hydrated without feeling like I’m drinking too much
Eating nuts oatmeal making protein shakes. Any other recommendations??

How much is little one eating per day vs how much you’re producing? Make sure your pump is on the right settings for letdown vs expression. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep too. Too little sleep can have a severe impact on supply

I did all that and never got over .5

Pump more frequently and/or breastfeed more and make sure you have the right pump for you and flange sizes. The pumps suction can affect production. My sister had the pumps that go in her bra and didn't get as much as with the Spectra pump

Take fenegreek herb. It’s amazing and worked for me. Just buy on Amazon x

heard it dries a lot of women up

I have the “ameda” breast pump I got though insurance thinking of getting the spectra pump or the baby bhudda because I heard those are good. Sleep is kinda there and not really stressed only thing is not able to breastfeed cuz babygirl won’t latch but I’m slowly getting through it

I've got the spectra dual portable. I am a fan. Battery and mains power for the win.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
