Top tips! Didn't realise women can BF with implants. Also note toppng baby up with formula is also going to decrease milk supply because the breast isnt being stimulated to produce more milk..
4 weeks in I was feeding and pumping fine, then I had a few days I couldn't feed due to pain and hectic life.. I pumped but couldn't finnish pumping.. my milk slowly went down no matter what now hes 10 weeks and my milk is gone :( really hard to even pump a drop.. My fault for not trusting my body and topping up with formula Tried fenugreek for the past 3 days and trying to pump every three hours. Nothing working yet :( So hard to stay positive when I cant find answers if I'll ever get supply back! This video has helped though so thankyou!
My supply was pretty good, making enough like the infant bottle they give at birth at the hospital. But i was taking medications, one of them turns out.. i was allergic to. I went to the ER because of it. I stopped breastfeeding for like a week
I was obsessed with getting my milk to come in. I refused formula and wanted to BF, but the nurses at my hospital kept us away longer than we should. 16 months later.. BFing like champs, it takes work, but I wouldnt have it any other way. Spend time with baby, and let the loving gift of milk flow. I ended up loving my hand pump, much nicer than the auto pumps. Nursing bras, stress free, lots of kisses for baby, and gentle care. Great video. Wish I saw this a long time ago. ;-)
D Shannon ur comment gives me hope. I’m 3 weeks n don’t hv enough for my baby. Hv to top up with formula. Will keep trying to BF. Hope it’s not too late..
Good question! I don't know to be honest, but I always felt excessive pressure/pain whenever I would try to sleep on my stomach - so I could never really do it, but I would image it *can* have a negative impact if sleeping the entire night on your stomach.
Yes, definitely! Even lying on your side in a way that presses on your breast can impact your supply. It hurts too bad for me to sleep on my back but I noticed a significant dip in my supply after sleeping on my side. I now sleep on my side but rolled towards my back much like I did while pregnant.
This is awesome advice❤...what can we do to increase our supply even when we have added things to increase our breast milk and we have latched baby and still get the same amount of milk?
+Angel Ray Thank you!! 💜 At the end of this video I recommend my video on how to increase your supply. Definitely give it a watch if you haven’t already seen it! 😘
I’m a new mom and I have breast implants... I was told by my surgeon and my midwife that wouldn’t interfere with my breastfeeding bc how the implant was placed ( under the muscle ) but for last 3 months I have been having problems. I thought it was bc of me supplementing so my milk was drying up. Do have any tips for implant ladies bc I’m really working hard on trying build back up my milk supply so I can exclusively breastfeed
Great question! So supplementing could actually be the reason for decreased supply (if you aren't pumping or hand expressing). You want to be stimulating the nipple and emptying the breast as much as possible to signal to your body to make more milk.
I never produced much milk at all! When my son was a newborn he was dehydrated from lack of milk and I had no idea.The most I pumped was 4oz in a whole day.. So stressful. I had to stop after 6months .
Was that your first kiddo? Sometimes if it is not your first kiddo, you may start producing milk during pregnancy. If you are producing milk but your breasts arent being "emptied" it signals the milk making cells to shut down.
Question, how many streams should there be from each nipple on average? Mine only has 1-2 streams when I express milk. Anyway to increase it? I feel my baby don’t get enough milk all the time n I don’t want to rely on formula. I usually pump for 30 minutes per side to ‘empty ‘ the breast. Help. Need advice.
Hi there! Everyone is different so I couldn't give you a number. Unless you are expressing less milk because of blocked ducts, there is no way to increase this unfortunately.
My baby is 4 weeks n I’m only pumping 1-2 oz both sides. She requires roughly 3 oz so I top up with FM. Latching is difficult because after an hour both sides she never seems satisfied, she probably got only 1oz. Is it too late to increase my milk supply?

My supply was pretty low and "Healthy Nursing Tea" increased my milk supply!
I needed this!
You are beautiful and it’s helpful information thank you 😊 😊😊

Would you consider massage and hand expression pressure?
🤦🏽♀️ I was wondering why my milk slowed down
Thanks for the video mama.. I needed to know that. Cheers😘
+Regina Kasongo soo happy to help! 💜😘😘😘

Does sleeping on my tummy cause enough pressure to have a negative affect? I waited 9 long months to sleep on my stomach!
Good question! I don't know to be honest, but I always felt excessive pressure/pain whenever I would try to sleep on my stomach - so I could never really do it, but I would image it *can* have a negative impact if sleeping the entire night on your stomach.

Can a person with tuberous breast deformity produce milk ?
I never produced much milk at all! When my son was a newborn he was dehydrated from lack of milk and I had no idea.The most I pumped was 4oz in a whole day.. So stressful. I had to stop after 6months .
Also, it was really word because a few weeks before birth my breasts seemed full but completely went away in time for birth
Oh my goodness! So stressful! You are AMAZING for going for 6 months!! 💜
Was that your first kiddo? Sometimes if it is not your first kiddo, you may start producing milk during pregnancy. If you are producing milk but your breasts arent being "emptied" it signals the milk making cells to shut down.
Thanks 😊 very informative ....I learned a lot.
+Halima Halima Yay!! this makes me so happy! 💜😊
Can someone with hypoplasia breastfeed? What do you recommend?
Hi there! To be honest, I don't know; as am not familiar with this.
I would imagine sleeping on your belly would also decrease milk too because that would increase pressure too, right???
Yes!! This can absolutely have a negative impact on supply too
Am feeling some pains in my Breast please is it advisable to still breastfeed my son is just 4 weeks
So what does one do to get the milk supply back up? my milk supply decreased after going back to work and I think its because of the pressure.
Question, how many streams should there be from each nipple on average? Mine only has 1-2 streams when I express milk. Anyway to increase it? I feel my baby don’t get enough milk all the time n I don’t want to rely on formula. I usually pump for 30 minutes per side to ‘empty ‘ the breast. Help. Need advice.
