1 months worth of Pumping

This is my second go in the breastfeeding/pumping journey l, so it’s still a learning process for me!

So far I have been making a homemade lactation pink drink, that’s taste like the one from starbucks! And also drinking lots of body armor the strawberry banana has been my favorite!

I’ve been looking into snack recipes so if I find any I will definitely share with you guys.

I’m excited to see how far my journey will go this time around.

... Read moreIn the world of breastfeeding and pumping, every journey is unique. Many moms find themselves learning something new at each step. With the right motivation and practices, producing enough milk can be a rewarding experience. Homemade lactation drinks, like the strawberry banana BodyArmor I've enjoyed, can help fuel your pumping sessions while keeping you hydrated. As you explore new snack recipes, consider incorporating snacks like oats, nuts, and seeds, which are known to support lactation. Online communities are fantastic resources for support and recipes, fostering connections with fellow breastfeeding moms. Don’t forget to track your progress too! Establishing a productive pumping routine can help you reach your goals and maintain a healthy supply. That's why I’ve kept a tally of my bags – currently at 73! Remember, every drop counts in the beautiful journey of motherhood. Share your experiences and support with others in the community. You never know how your story might inspire someone else!

Don’t go in blind! SAVE, SHARE & REPOST THIS! Work with a lactation professional before and after birth - latching’s not all we do! It breaks my heart to see moms pump once or twice daily without proper guidance because others aren’t giving you the full picture. Book your appointment today.

THE POWER OF POWER PUMPING
Does “power pumping” really work? YES!! However, consistency is key- it can take 4-7 days to really kick in/stick/take effect. It is a low-risk technique that mimics cluster feeding and creates the “supply and demand” response of the body. How to do it- Once a day, when your supply is higher
