Milk Supply

Option 1: Power Pump every 3hrs 20mins pump 10mins rest 10mins pump 10mins rest 10mins pump Option 2: Take Fenugreek supplement (from GNC also have) to boost lactation. Option 3: Don’t give up and keep on direct latch; supply and demand. Option4: Drink plenty of water, 3L at least. Option 5: Engage a lactation consultant or a masseuse to massage your breast every before pump session. Option 6: Do all of the above and your milk supply will increase tremendously cause I did it with the help of supplements, direct latch on cracked nipples 😣 (pls standby nipple cream, Medela works best for me) and diligently power pump the first week after I got discharged from hospital. My massage lady also helped loosen the knots in my breast for a smoother flow. Now I only pump every 12hrs (cause it’s a real commitment) and my supply is about 200-270ml at 2 weeks post partum. Not so bad I guess as compared to the first few days I only got 10-20ml. I store my EBM in bags of 60-90ml for now. My diet is porridge with steamed fish everyday because I don’t have much appetite anymore. I keep a bottle of water with me wherever I go in the house and drink up every hour. I still take fenugreek supplement and do direct latch in between baby’s feedings to stimulate my supply.
