Hey mammas, last week I started to feel big my supply immediately I started to panic, which is obviously the worst thing you can do… starting yesterday. I started to feel much better about things. In our groups, we often see moms ask how do I fix my supply or what do I do if my supply is dipping? As soon as my supply dips, these are the things I do.
Check to my pump parts
Immediately double the water
Add a pump anywhere in the day ( even if it’s next to no milk)
Latch often- cry, here you go… have some milk! Tired, have a little sip. Give as many milk snacks as the babe could possibly want.
It normally it’s about one week to turn the corner and that week feels very helpless because you feel like everything you’re doing doesn’t make a difference, but if you keep doing these things, it normally helps. I hope this helps some mommas!
Yes to the milk snacks! I try to nurse my daughter any time she is crying. Usually she will latch. And water is such a big contributor to milk supply, that’s for sure!
I needed to hear this!!! In another dip due to first period and yes to this whole checklist especially cry and offer milk for everything all the extra latches count !!!
Currently drinking a gallon of water a coconut water hahaha
I love a strawberry banana body armour for an extra boost !!
Ugh the period back is horrible during breastfeeding!!! It does come back up, but messes with your mind every time and is so painful (at least it was for me). Do all the things to keep your body making that milk during this week. you got this!!
