I am 10 weeks post partum. At the beginning, I was oversupplying and pumping every 2-3 hours getting at least 4-6oz out of each breast. Because of how much I was producing, I was told to cut down and start pumping every 3-4 hours instead. I did that and my supply DROPPED to 1-1.5 oz on left side and 2oz on right side. I take 3 different lactation supplements, post partum vitamin, tried power pumping, increase frequency and pump for longer times, etc. I'm only making 3.5ml per pump and my baby is eating/needing/wanting 4.5... She gets frustrated and fussy when breastfeeding (probably because she isn't getting enough), and no wonder because I'm not producing enough.. TIPS on how to increase supply?!!! I don't want to start using my stash..
The Frequency and Duration of Breastfeeding Sessions
- Breastfeeding is a miraculous bonding experience between you and your baby.
- Your body produces liquid gold - breast milk, uniquely designed to meet your baby's every need.
- Breast milk is rich in essential nutrients, antibodies, and stem cells, providing your baby with a superpower juice!
- Breastfeeding releases oxytocin, the "love hormone," creating a strong emotional connection between you and your little one.
- Newborns typically need to nurse every 2 to 3 hours or even more frequently in the beginning.
- Be prepared for nighttime dance parties as newborns often cluster feed during the evening.
- As your baby grows, the frequency of breastfeeding sessions will likely space out.
- Follow your baby's cues to establish a unique rhythm between you and your little one.
- In the early days, each breastfeeding session may last 15 to 20 minutes on each breast.
- Colostrum, the early milk, is concentrated with essential nutrients and antibodies.
- As your baby grows, they may feed more efficiently, reducing the duration to 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow your baby to lead the way and find harmony in your breastfeeding experience.
- Breastfeeding may come with challenges like sore nipples or latching difficulties.
- Seek advice from a lactation consultant or join breastfeeding groups for support.
- Explore innovative solutions to overcome any hurdles you may encounter.
- Remember, you're not alone on this adventure; there's a whole tribe of supportive moms cheering you on!
- Breastfeeding is a magical bonding experience that creates a profound connection between you and your baby.
- Each feeding session is an opportunity to provide love, comfort, and nourishment.
- Embrace the joy of cuddling your little one close and enjoying skin-to-skin contact.
- Breastfeeding will be one of the most beautiful chapters of your extraordinary tale of motherhood.

Any one else deliver premature, and have trouble breastfeeding? I had my son at 34weeks and this was after one or two pumping sessions He's currently in NICU so I haven't really been able to get him to latch onto my boob or have much skin to skin contact. I feel like nothing in this pregnancy went how I had hoped and now I can't even give breast milk? 😕 It got liitk bit yesterday I got 6ml I filled up 2 ot these syringes...but that was after 5 pump sessions. I have tea, a chocolate mix and 3 bottles if herbal supplements that I've been using. Has antibes gone through this and managed to start a mill supply once their baby is home.. or am I just a. Mom that will have to rely soley on formula?
