    1) De-stress your life.
    2) More skin to skin time.
    3) Drink plenty of water 💦.
    4) Eat healthy food (healthy carbs, sweet potato, beans and carrots, oatmeal, whole grains, proteins from meat, olive oil, good fat, lactation cookies)
    5) Nurse or pump often ( Atleast every 2-4 hours).
    6) try power pumping ( pick an hour of day devoted to pumping while massaging your breasts with 10 minutes rest after every 20 mins).
    7) Use herb teas fenugreek, moringa, fennel, Brussels, or have milk supplements.
    Thanks ☺️

    Awesome advice! When I started exclusive pumping I was only getting 1-2 oz per breast. Now, in the mornings I get about 9oz total and in the evenings it's about 6oz. My routine?
    -Pump regularly every 3hrs(except at night, I pump right before bed and as soon as I wake up.
    -Take 2 tablets of fenugreek every day
    -Eat healthy(lots of oatmeal, I always seem to have a boost after eating oatmeal)
    -Drink lots of water!(I can always tell when I'm not drinking enough, my supply dips)
    -I also take Sunflower Lecithin occasionally to prevent clogs.
    -Look at pictures and videos of my baby while pumping.
    I keep these up consistently and now I get about 42oz a day. I am now able to donate some extra!
    Thank you for the advice Bridget!

    Extra tip: I was baking my own lactation cookies and found myself out of time to restock, also worried about burning a batch with my beautiful, demanding newborn. So I looked for recipes for no-bake energy bites instead. I mix 2 cups of oats, 1 cup of PB, half a cup of maple syrup, half a cup of flax seed, half a cup of dark chocolate chips and 3 tbsp of brewers yeast and I get about 50 bites. Put them in the fridge for half an hour to harden and they’re ready. Much easier go restock.

    @mrswray Před rokem +47

    Keeping your thoughts and stress in check is more important than you think. I remember when I was producing milk if I even thought of my baby or heard another baby cry I would start leaking. It’s amazing the link between our brains and lactation. So if just hearing a baby cry can trigger your body into opening your milk ducts, just keep in mind bad and stressful thoughts can sometimes do damage that we might not be able to visibly see.

    • @lilrascalish
      @lilrascalish Před rokem +1

      So true. Sadly I'm a living experience of how stress killed my milk supply and my baby was barely 2 months old. Relationship stress. Now my baby is 5 months but I'm still trying to see how I can replenish because I really want him to breast feed and not only formula fed. 😢

    • @Angel_Billy4-30-23
      @Angel_Billy4-30-23 Před rokem +2

      @@lilrascalish I know, I'm having the same problem. I was pumping consistently well and got it to where I was pumping about 2 to 2 and a half ounces per breast per pump session because my baby was in the NICU because he was born 5 weeks premature and was dealing with jaundice on and off for the first week of his life so he had to stay in the incubator under the blue light therapy so breastfeeding was almost impossible. I was only allowed to keep him out for a half hour every 6 or so hours so I didn't have the time to get him to latch or to really give breastfeeding a solid try. But I was pumping just fine until stressors in my life and especially my relationship with my baby's father started to get worse. I'm still pumping but I'm only getting a few drops per session so I am desperately trying to build up my supply of milk again because I don't want my baby strictly on formula (which he currently is because I can't pump enough). I'm just ar such a loss of what to do and I really hope I can bring back my milk supply while I'm still able to get out a few drops.

    For those moms that can’t get baby to latch, you can use nipple shield, I use it because my baby was in the NICU and the first thing she tasted was a bottle so we couldn’t learn that natural latch, so I had to opt for the nipple shield. It’s a little frustrating but you can still breastfeed. I use the medela nipple shield

    • @marisol0813
      @marisol0813 Před rokem +6

      Nipple shields don’t always work. I was given one by the NICU nurse and I didn’t know they came in different sizes. My nipples were too small for it and baby wasn’t getting any milk and lost weight. Drs said to give her formula so she could gain weight and I ended up hating the spitting up and vomiting so I exclusively pumped for a year. It was sooo hard but glad I was able to do that for her.

    • @kaylinde2321
      @kaylinde2321 Před rokem +6

      NICU mom here too. Nipple shields might not work for everyone but it’s good to know it’s an option, I don’t hear it mentioned much. It helped me in the beginning but a few days into it I felt it wasn’t needed. It took a while for my baby to get used to breastfeeding but we got there eventually. Currently doing bottle and breastfeeding, it’s very time consuming. My supply is low and he has tons of reflux and vomiting from formula so I’m struggling to increase my supply 😔

    I am pretty much on the dot with all your tips and still struggled until I gave up breastfeeding due baby not gaining weight from 3 to 5 months, I started struggling at 6 weeks when baby and I were both sick. I started taking stuff that is supposed to increase milk supply but nothing seem to help. I've tried moringa, maxi milk, Hydration packs, juices, liquid chlorify, I eat high protein, whole grain foods, healthy oils, oatmeal, quinoa veggies is what I eat all the time. I was pumping every 2 hours but baby kept on feeling hungry and didn't take on weight for 2 months. I started him on formula and he started sleeping longer stretches, seemed more satisfied, was burping after feedings and picked up his weight gain. There was no stress in my life except my concern for him. It still hurts to have given up breastfeeding. I was pumping every 2 hours at the end, once I quit my breast didn't even really fill up. First 2 day I pumped twice, day 3 and 4 once and it was over. To me, giving up breastfeeding is like cutting off one cord from the heart. I'm a big believer in nature stuff bug I'm considering unnatural with my next baby if that's what it takes.

When you’re sleepless and have no help, it’s hard to do this…especially in a pandemic. Also, recovering from hellp syndrome. I added in formula more and more,only to maintain my sanity. Now I only pump and formula feed. Baby hated breastfeeding after week 3. Breastfeeding isn’t everything. Your health is. Good luck out there 🙏

    My baby is 4 months old. When he was about 2 months old, I started giving him 1 bottle in the evenings, since he wanted to nurse non stop for 4-5hours. I have a 3yo and my husband works out of region, so I’m solo parenting 2weeks/month. My lack of sleep was starting be be unsafe for my kids, I do not regret this decision. But then came the next growth spurt, I forgot about how your supply adjusts after it’s over, I panicked and gave him bottles, that was a mistake. Now I’m barely able to breastfeed him more than 1x a day. I had no issues with my daughter, exclusively breastfed until 5months, and weaned her at 2y3m. Not being able to breastfeed my son as much is heart breaking. I’m taking every tip seriously and hoping for the best ❤️

      Ive managed this time around and my boy has just turned 9months old and he's still breastfeeding.
      I got up every 3 hours at night to express (as well as doing it every 3hours during the day) and I've upped my food intake alot.
      I also take breastfeeding supps, fenugreek and blessed thistle and my Dr prescribed Dom Peridone for me.
      Ive been dealing with family court since my beautiful boy was born... ( dad spent 7wks trying to bully me to terminate and now expects 50/50) 🙄
      Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up if you're not having much success. You are doing an amazing job regardless and your wee girl is super lucky to have you.
      I still do skin to skin and that's a big help.
      One way i made my milk come in more was letting him suckle, even if there wasn't any milk. The sucking sends messages to your body to produce more and there is something in their saliva that stimulates production in the breast.
      Also try hand expressing, even if you only get tiny results, the massaging will stimulate your milk ducts.
      You've got this mumma ❤️ be proud of yourself!!

    Thank you thank you thank you for the power pumping tip!! My preemie baby boy just didn’t have the jaw strength to effectively empty my breast at each feeding (even tho he had a good latch and strong suckle reflex) which made my supply dip. Using the pump to fully empty my breasts at each feeding, combine with the power pumping has made such a difference! Day one I pumped 1oz, day 2 I pumped 1.75oz, and today I pumped 2.25oz during my power pump session. I really can’t thank you enough! I’m so grateful that I’m still able to give my baby boy breast milk and not just formula. Hopefully when he gets a bit bigger and stronger, we can go back to breastfeeding entirely.

    More prolactin is produced at night, between 2-5 am. Don't miss those night pumps.

    I’d love for you to make a video for moms who deal with low milk supply. I know you aren’t an IBCLC but I’m sure you could educate a lot of folks about things like hypoplasia, insulin resistance, IGT and other real causes of low milk supply. So many women (like me when I had my oldest) don’t know about this and badly dehydrate their babies on accident. And while it’s not common, it’s a lot more common than most of us realize! Had I known about the SNS and some other great resources, I’d have made it a lot longer breastfeeding her! I breastfed my second daughter six months with the SNS - five months longer than my oldest! I’m 36 weeks with my third, a son, and I’m prepared with the SNS, my haakaa, Brewer’s yeast, and a few other things that have helped in the past! 😃 I’m hoping to make it to a year and beyond with him. ☺️

    Hey Bridget! I LOVE your content and have watched so many videos. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update this one with a disclaimer about fenugreek. A little research will show you that not only will it NOT work for over 50% of women, but it will actually have the OPPOSITE effect for them. Yes, meaning it will lower milk supply. Fenugreek destroyed my milk supply about a month and a half ago and it hasn't been the same since. I couldn't believe what I found when I did a little bit of research. There's a reason that Legendary Milk supplements all say "Fenugreek Free" on them... I hope you read my comment and do your own research
