Breastfeeding Tips

As a second time exclusively breastfeeding mom, I have a few tips to share to help with your milk supply.

-Firstly, drink as much water as possible, 3+ water bottles a day.

-Eat foods containing oats as they promote milk production.

-Sleep as often as you can as that’s when milk is produced.

- Pump or latch as often as you can (for about 15 minutes) within your maternity leave, it helps to build your milk supply.

-Moisturize your nipples to decrease the risk of cracked or painful nipples.

-Take a prenatal and fenugreek, they’ll both help to increase your supply.

-Ask your doctor to prescribe you medicine to increase your supply if the above steps do not work.

Breastfeeding is a natural yet challenging process, especially for new moms. To enhance your milk production, it’s vital to stay well-hydrated. Aim for at least 3 liters of water each day. Incorporating foods rich in oats can promote lactation, as they are known galactagogues. Additionally, prioritizing adequate rest is crucial since milk production peaks during sleep cycles. Regularly pumping or latching for about 15 minutes can effectively stimulate your body’s milk supply during maternity leave. It’s also important to maintain nipple health by moisturizing to prevent cracking. Supplements such as prenatal vitamins and fenugreek can aid in increasing your supply. If these methods don’t yield the desired results, consult with your physician for possible prescription options. Remember that patience and persistence are key in your breastfeeding journey.

Fenugreek has actually been known to take peoples supply as well! It’s a 50/50 shot that it can help, or hurt your supply. I know a lot of people who have said it’s dried them up almost entirely

What’s that on your boobs besides the pump?
