Relactation
Show your support
Have you possibly tried power pumping?? I’ve also been told by LC’s and my midwife that skin to skin is so important for production! It send signals telling your body that there’s a baby and you need to produce food for them. Also, make sure you are drinking 96oz+ in a day. The drink Body Armor is a life saver, they taste great and I absolutely love them for production, they have the regular and then one called “Flash I.V”, in my personal opinion it taste better than liquid I.V! Body Armor also makes water as well.
Im also relactating, pump pump pump! Youll need to pump every 2-3 hours to gain supply back, try 48 hours of pumping every 2 then pump every 2-3 and one power pump (between 1-5am ideally as prolactin is highest then) Second a referral to the feeding team or a lactation consultant privately (or both!) if you can afford. Supplementary nursing system so bottles can be given via breast for added nipple stimulation n even can be used with nipple shields (which are hugely helpful if its the teat feeling she wants) Rent a medela hospital grade pump (theres a code somewhere ill find that gives you £20 off so its £30 a month and you can return once supply is back)
Heres the info Pumps can be hired direct from Medela, https://www.medela- rental. co.uk/ who deliver to pump to your home. How much does it cost? Medela: £39 for the first 14 days with discount code MEDNICU including standard delivery.
Can you ask your midwife or GP to refer you to a feeding specialist? That’s what I did, she advised me to do more shorter pumping sessions and lots of skin to skin to get them stimulated more and producing more x
