One helpful tip I want to share for moms who are nursing and trying to establish or maintain their milk supply is to completely empty your breasts after your last nursing session at night, then pump again after your baby’s first morning feed. This routine signals your body to keep making milk, and adding these two extra pumping sessions made a huge difference in helping me maintain my milk supply. I started this routine early in my postpartum journey, and it has helped me maintain my milk supply while nursing my baby and building a freezer stash for when I return to work. As a mom of a toddler and a 3-month-old, wearable pumps made it so much easier to stay consistent because I could pump while still taking care of my older child. This simple routine made a big difference for me, and I hope it helps another mom who is trying to build or maintain her milk supply.
