First timer

Hi. I’m a 25yr old mom of 3 and one on the way (all girls/2 years age gap between each). Have never been in something like this but wanted to introduce myself and ask questions about how to keep your supply up. I have such a hard time taking care of myself enough to keep it up while trying to tend to everyone else’s needs

Hi! Nice to meet you. To keep your supply up, make sure you are eating enough and drinking more water than usual. Nurse your baby as often as you can. If you pump, make sure to do it at the same times every day. Do your best to take care of yourself because stress can affect your supply too. I pump in addition to breastfeeding as a stay at home mom, and pumping has really increased my supply. I do twice a day for 30 minutes each time.

Welcome! I try to drink plenty of water and body armor really helps me (I buy the lite so it isn’t as many calories and sugar) I make sure I am eating enough and I have noticed oatmeal Helps too. Power pumping helps as well.
