Trying to increase supply

i got mine up to where i’m ebf in 2 weeks of actually trying. for me this worked:

• hospital grade pump: borrowed one from a feeding specialist (nhs)

• medication: taking domperidone (spelling idk) 3x a day. i also took moringa tablets and momclub breastfeeding tablets but not sure if either actually made a difference.

• pump schedule: for me 6x a day for 40 minutes worked better than 8+, i pumped at 03:45, 08:15, 12:00, 16:00, 19:45, 23:15 everyday. the morning pumps bring in supply the most.

• diet: i ate porridge every morning for the oats, hydrating constantly (just water though), eating enough that i’m not in a calorie deficit.

good luck! it’s such an emotional journey but when it works it’s worth it 💕

It's tough work and needs dedication. It's supply and demand. Pump constantly like every 2 hours and add power pump that's not a part of normal schedule. LOTS OF WATER!!! Eat well too, not junk but actually healthy nutritious meals and snacks. Brewers yeast for making snacks. Gotta have at least a week to see increase. But it does help
