U can try fenugreek though I have not tried it myself but that's generally the recommended supplement to take. Try to take oats and drink more water supposed to help. I'm exclusively pumping for my baby as I can't latch her. I will be same as you soon as I will be on my own when my confinement nanny leaves tmr and I can only imagine how stressful it will be when I hv to find time to pump. Jiayou to both of us. Hang in there!
I had no help no CL no passionate MIL or Mom. What I did was I pump when baby is sleeping. When hes awake I latch him. Sometimes after feeding him i will pump to empty the boobs. Continuously everyday through the night. By 2nd month I am so over supplied that my freezer was full
I rarely pump too duevto the same reason. For me handsfree doesnt have much effect on my boobies. Doesn't really empty much. I rely on direct latching alot. So my supply is not neither over nor is it under supply.
Direct latch? It will help increase supply and save time for pumping
I use a handsfree pump! So I can carry / rock her at the same time
Formula
I think she is asking about boosting her supply not asking for alternative feeding though.
