Day 1 of trying to increase my milk supply

After 7 months postpartum my my milk supply has turned a very drastic turn! When I was freshly pp I was filling bottle after bottles had over 500oz freezer stash and now I have gone through almost all my freezer stash and having a hard time pumping more milk out.

As a mama of 3 it’s hard to sit down and pump I mostly nurse my baby and she gets one bottle at night because I typically don’t have enough on tap to fill her up.

Join me on this journey of trying to get back to what I used to be at in the beginning!!!

... Read moreAfter a significant drop in milk production seven months postpartum, many mothers face challenges in replenishing their supply. Factors such as stress, hydration, and diet play crucial roles in milk production. Effective methods like regular pumping, hydration with electrolyte drinks, and nutrition-focused supplements may help. For instance, DripDrop offers hydration options to keep new moms adequately hydrated, which can aid in milk production. Similarly, safe and effective supplements designed for breastfeeding mothers can also provide additional support. Joining support groups or communities on social media, like those centered around hashtags such as #milksupplyboost and #pumpingjourney, can offer encouragement and shared experiences from others in similar situations. It's important to remember that each breastfeeding journey is unique, and what works for one mom may not work for another. Keeping track of pumping sessions, like the example of pumping varying amounts throughout a day, can help in identifying patterns and making adjustments to routines. Additionally, utilizing tools like wearable breast pumps can enhance convenience for busy moms, allowing them to pump hands-free while managing family life.

I just had mastitis and my left boob which was my good out put dropped to nothing and my slacker dropped to 2oz. Now I’m fighting to get enough for my daughter also. I didn’t have a stash due to my daughter being a 29 weeker in nicu and not being a steady supplier just yes I was working on establishing my supply when I ended up with mastitis so I’m trying everything now
