You are a savior!! My baby was born with 37 GA and had low birth weight.. He couldn't latch on to his mom due to the nipple size and baby's tiny Lil lips.. We started pumping the milk using manual pumps and fed the milk to our baby.. While he was hungry all the times he finished the milk when spoon fed.. Post watching your video.. We tried skin to skin contact method and kept focusing on breastfeeding.. It took few days and hurray baby is now able to latch on and enjoy the milk like never before.. Thanks a ton for your guidance.. ❤
I’m at this point as well . When I get Extremely low I put baby on me for skin to skin action and that helps to get me back ok . Keep doing the skin to skin keep the baby on you it helps a lot and drink more water and lactation cookies from target . Oatmeal helps
These pumps are horrible and are riddled with so many issues. Had one die on us after three months, that we had to fight to get replaced under warranty, only to then spend money on a new one, for that one to die in four weeks. To make matters worse, customer support make it difficult to get any adequate resolution. Ridiculous.
I have three kids that I fed for 2 1/2 years of peace never knew I had to wing them off just cold turkey stock and they were drinking bottles. It's been 30 years now and they're still here the milk I try called cabbage leaves squeezing them out with my hand. My boobs are heavy, still dark, and one's bigger than the other please Helth don't know what to do breast-feeding so.
My pump has started sucking milk into the tubing, more and more over the last few days. I'm not assembling it any differently or leaning over. I've been using it every day for 4 months, does the membrane need replacing?

Is there anything we can do or supplements to take to help encourage a good milk supply in the first trimester if during a previous pregnancy you had a low milk supply only making 13 ounces a day?
Hi Erica, it would be best to speak with your lactation consultant or midwife for the best advice on this. For a quick read though, you can check out one of our articles on boosting your milk supply here: www.medela.com.au/breastfeeding/blog/breastfeeding-tips/help-can-increase-milk-supply
So I have a random question. My mother told told me that she was not able to breastfeed me, so she had a babysitter breastfed me for about a year. Could that possibly have any effect on why I never felt any sort of a bond with my mother, like my siblings did?

Thank you for explaining this, I evaluate my breastfeeding journey with my first born. I ended up having low supply in the long run because on first 3 days my milk wasnt expressed properly.

Hi Genesis, everybody is different so while some mums experience a growth in their breasts not everyone will. Like our babies, all mamas are different too!
I'm 20 weeks almost 21 weeks. And I'm having clear fluid out my breast not every day but once in awhile I notes it . But my question is I thought u get that ONLY when u getting close to give birth. I'm scared . Don't want my baby to come early.
