Any idea how to boost my breast milk yield. My 7 week old baby drinks 4oz per feed and sadly I only produce one third of what she is drinking now. Tried all the possible milk boosters. Considering power pumping. I heard that power pumping is effective in increasing yield. May I know once yield has increased, should I stop power pumping altogether?

Power pump do help a lot as demand means supply. You can add in one power pump every night and continue until supply is stable. It will be better if you can direct latch as baby can extract milk better than pumps can. If due to various reasons you are unable to direct latch, you can consider to pump 3 hourly for minimum of 15 minutes to maintain supply. Remember to drink more fluid and be hydrated if not supply can be affected.
