Hi all! I’m curious does anybody have any tips for increasing milk supply? I would pump 5-6 ounces and now I’m barely doing 4 and I need the increase in milk for daycare. Any tips would be appreciated, I already brought lactation cookies, body armor and even oatmeal pies and Oreos lol

It sounds like your supply has regulated but if you want to increase it, set an alarm to pump between 12am-2am (when prolactin is highest), and power pump before bed (I’ll try to find a pic but basically you use your pump to cluster feed like during the early newborn days).
Also, increase your protein intake! I follow a couple postpartum dietitians who say we need over 100g of protein per day when lactating (~30g per meal plus high protein snack). Most lactating mothers do not get enough protein in their diet.
Good luck! ❤️

Thank you so much 🫶🏾
