Breastfeeding (PUMPING)

Has anyone else’s baby not take to breastfeeding so you decided to pump and feed instead? I’ve been pumping for 4 months from the start I was a over supplier pumping like 42 ounces a day just on my manual pump but 2 weeks ago my supply has took a major drop to me only being able to pump a couple of ml a time both breasts combined! Nothing has changed routine/ pumps baby’s feeds nothing I’m not pregnant I’ve not been poorly it’s just gone. If this had happened to you please let me know how you got your supply back up because my HV and Lactation coach are telling me different things so I’ll ask the mums who’s actually been through it! ANY ADVICE WELCOME! 🤗

I’m trying to relactate after not pumping for ages and I’ve heard and tried using porridge oats (they help) rubbing coconut oil on my breast/having it in my drinks makes me feel engorged and coconut water helps with hydration as it’s a great source of electrolytes and protein! All have helped me feel engorged and has made pumping easier
