breastfeeding tips

Have you tried instant oats ? Like over night oats I love them

I exclusively breastfed my first baby and again with my second, I breastfed my first for 3 years so I have some experience! I’d say let your baby cluster fed as much as possible, keep offering them the breast throughout the day for as much as they want. Remember to keep switching which side you feed them from. You can pump afterwards but not for long periods!

Are you exclusively pumping?

The hot chocolate of TikTok !

I’ve managed to increase mine I’m 7 weeks pp ftm & I now pump roughly 300mls a day and before I was only managing like 20 mls or 60mls on a good day. For me I started to eat more protein, especially steak and drink more water. I drank milo hot chocolate and I get instant let downs. Also I tried the Bra pumps and wasn’t for me and the hand held electric one and it was alright but I wasn’t getting enough out. Recently got a hand held manual pump medela and got a correct flang size too (both my nipples measure differently so don’t assume they’re both the same) and it’s been a game changer! In like 15 mins I can now pump 100mls: I probably could do more but I’m also breast feeding throughout & also my son won’t let me put him down lol 😂 he’s literally glued to me lol but Yhh those are my tips! Also when pumping do compression massages too cuz your milk could be stuck. Xx

Also let your baby feed more and pump straight after for loke 5 to 10 mins. Tricks your body that baby needs more milk so you can boost your supply. 3am to 6am is when I get soooo much milk as he has longer stretches of sleep. When pumping trigger a let down first then go for it babe! Ok I’m done now lol 😂 hope that helps my love xxx

Are you nursing or pumping? How long do you pump for? Did you double check you have the correct flange size? What type of pump are you using? Are you getting enough sleep and eating a nutrient dense diet?
