After each delivery, my mom would make me palmnut soup within the first week. I ate oatmeal for breakfast every day and had mashed kenkey every night as well. My mom would make the kenkey herself too. I had a much better breastfeeding experience with my 2nd child than with my first. I was able to freeze close to 100 bags with 4-6oz in each bag. Also I realized I wasn’t drinking as much water as I thought I was. Sleep also affects your supply. I found if I had an off day and didn’t sleep well or I was stressed, my milk supply would dip a bit. I switched to exclusive pumping as well because of the nipple cracking/bleeding and pain associated with direct nursing.
Well that makes sense why I couldn’t breastfeed since I didn’t sleep for the first 3-4 weeks. Like literally at all. I probably only had about less than 5 hrs because it got to a point where my body was so overly tired that I couldn’t sleep even if I tried. I would sleep only 10-15 minutes a day. I had to get a prescription and even that didn’t work. I had to be away from my baby to try to work on my health and that was so hard for me. I felt like a failure and yet still I would try being with my baby than try to sleep. I became weak to the point where I couldn’t hold her anymore. I was worried about dropping her. That’s when I knew I had to take care of myself because I couldn’t be there for her. 😢 I’m hoping this time around things are different. I’m so scared. I will have my baby any day now.
The hospital grade pump suggestion is 100% legitimate. I've been using a rented medela symphony and it made such a huge difference. More milk pumped in shorter time and with less pain. It's so worth it especially if you need to build a milk stash.

Chia seeds! After not being able to produce milk for a week I started taking chia seeds wither with water or by themselves and my milk was back in less than 48hrs!
Thank you for the info! Gonna buy some pistachios now 😂 and just FYI in the future, you don't have to pump and dump! Save it for baby's bath or any skin issues you may encounter! There's ways to make it into soap or you can just add it to the bathwater. Also, it takes about 72 hrs post partum for your milk to come in. Idk why they don't tell first time moms this but baby literally drinks drops at a time the first few days which is why they cluster feed after birth and their weight drops naturally.
Wow that’s for this info. I’m a FTM and experienced this baby weight drop. But no one told me about this. Thanks there’s so much I knew and didn’t know about having a baby. Most of it if people just we’re honest would have been so much helpful lol 😅
Really wish the hospital explained this to the family cause they pressured me into formula. I was so stressed, lack of sleep and hydration and poor latch. I could tell she was still eating due to the wet diapers. But they didn’t believe she was eating enough because she was crying because I had to keep re latching her to my already sore nipples.
@@Cook_withada I just bought a bunch of shelled salted pumpkin seeds and ate them straight. However, if you don’t like pumpkin seeds on their own, you could always put them into a cookies or even a smoothie.
Omg girl i feel your pain! I DID NOT want to give formula AT ALLL! I just gave birth October 24, 2022 and everything seems great i was pumping and producing a lot of colostrum and then milk. When i came home still doing good but about a week later i started producing less milk. It's kind of been hard to get my son to latch and stay latched so i was pumping ever 2-3 hours to feed. I started getting discouraged because how hard it was and I kind of stopped pumping as often and using formula. Now 3 weeks postpartum I'm trying to increase my milk supply and it's been so hard. I'm getting sad honestly, now my son is starting to latch and i feel like I'm not producing enough for him.
It’s freaky because this is my exact story. I gave birth 10/31/22 and my daughter was tongue tied so she had a poor latch. After about 3weeks of pumping good my milk supply decrease. I was stressing like crazy. Now that she is no longer tongue tied she has a good latch but my milk supply is still low.
@@jennifermedina4038 yes I took her to an ENT specialist to have it done. It was a really quick procedure and little to no pain if he needs it done. My baby cried more being laid down than the actual cutting.
I’m with you. Having to supplement formula really breaks my heart. My baby is 10 weeks and I haven’t been able to get my supply up. Edit: I’m afraid to try pistachios because I’ve had some nut bars that have almonds and cashews and stuff and they give my baby painful gas
I struggled so much with milk, I started taking fenugreek pills (but some women gain and some decrease in milk) I took a chance and I make soooo much milk! I also take brewers yeast powder, I put it in smoothies but I’m sure you can bake it into goodies and so. I heard liquid iv works really good too!
I feel really sad too. My body failed me by him not wanting to come out even after my water broke (emergency c section) and now breastfeeding.. I only make 1-4 ounces a day :/
Try power pumping too y’all!! I’ll swear by this one day I only pumped 1 oz from both breasts absolutely broke my heart but the very next day 2oz from one boob it’s meticulous but worth it

I used Medela for one of my child and it was the only time I had good supply. Other times I tried to breastfeed but it didn't work. Now baby is 3 months old and I'm trying to breastfeed but he doesn't want to latch that much. And i have hard time feeding him with the bottle. Yes fenugreek increases milk supply I add 1 teaspoon in my smoothie
Now that you are back to exclusively breastfeeding, do you still have to pump everyday to maintain your supply? This is my third child and Ive never had a problem with low supply until now. He has a slight tongue tie that was affecting him in the beginning, but his latch seems better now. So now I'm working to get my supply back, and I'm trying so hard not to supplement with formula.
😰😓😓 pumping is so hard SLAVE TO PUMP I pump for an hour and get 1-2 oz. So discouraging 😢 I say I’m done not doing it then I come to you tube and look for more videos it’s been 6weeks my baby was born C-sec and jaundice ruin our latching bond! Now I give what I can and get frustrated 😢❤ thanx for sharing I will try the snacks
Maybe it’s the duration of your pumping. When I first started and thought pumping longer was better but breastfeeding is supply and demand so I found power pumping twice a day and only doing 20-30 min sessions every 2-3 hours considerably increased my supply 1-2 ounces to 5-6 in 30 mins. And I definitely drank hella body armor and water and took the pump princess lactation pills.

I’m having that same problem my six week baby has tongue tie so he don’t latch very well on bottle or breast so one I’m not getting emptied enough then some times he will fight to latch cause his tongue hurts. I am trying every thing form the lactation brownies to the up spring flow drink mix even the cookies what else can I do to get my supply up and flowing. And it’s hard to do 8-12 pumps a day how do u do it

I’ve been breastfeeding for 2months but starting formula feeding because I decrease and it’s like my body naturally decreases at 2months always. I don’t want to formula feed at all and need to increase asap like overflow because baby eats ALOT

My milk supply went down first time mom 3 month old and I’ve been using legendairy Milk now I’ve used them when I first gave birth and my milk supply was wild just starting to get rid of my stash now but that’s what I’m missing. My lactation consultant said this is normal because my body is making enough milk for my baby now. But I’m so use to producing 10*oz every pumping session. I’m back on the supplements again we gonna try this

Very informative video...I have a question how did you feed the baby after pumping is it with bottle, syringe or spoon? (Because my baby has the latching issue..he is not emptying my breast completely and many are suggesting to feed pumped milk via spoon or syringe)..Thank you. Please reply.
@@theshebayanlife ok thanks. I am waiting for my baby to learn latching soon and to increase my milk supply so that I can do exclusive breastfeeding. Thanks for your reply.
@@theshebayanlife oh well thats a huge factor. my baby rejected my breast shortly after getting him on the bottle. now my milk is stuck at the last amount he fed on. i cant seem to manage a pumping schedule. how do you pump 8 times a day?
Amazon has these awesome breast pumps less than $100. They are wireless and hands free. That has helped me pump more often. It was so worth the investment! All the best to you!
@@teatime540 I did get one called ikare which pumps a thousand times better than the madela pump in style I shelled out for (loud and falls apart quickly for no reason) but it won't get my milk supply UP. If you tried another one please tell me the name I'd love a suggestion. And thanks
@@Shmiah I ordered the Sergand Wearable Breast Pump. I noticed that if I’m not consistent with pumping my supply will go down. This pump is easy to use so it helps me stay consistent.
