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?

I think latching works best but if for some reason it’s not possible to latch, you can try pumping sooner in between feeding times (eg. every 2 hourly if your baby feeds 3 hourly). Takes a while to see the effect but persevere on!
