Hello beautiful mommas,
A couple weeks ago I had a really hard hard week, I’m an exclusive pumper and also struggle with a low supply, well that week I kept having really really low 24hr/per pump outputs and what helped me was: I had a very good cry during my walk with the dogs, then something happened which hasn’t happened in awhile an ice cream truck was driving up and I have 4 kids well I decided why not and honestly seeing all my kids be able to experience an ice cream truck at the same time(1st for all of em) was just so amazing and of course who doesn’t love ice cream well the very next day my husband brought me flowers out of no where and in the card it stated that I would have a better day tomorrow and he can feel I’m overwhelmed with my low supply and that he believes in me and knows that I’m trying everything to get it to go up somehow well that same morning I got in touch with a LC and found out I was sized 5 sizes too big and a lot of other things were also not helping like I hit the 3month mark and regulated and it’s a lot harder to get supply back up etc… well fast forward to now I’m back to making 14-16oz a day and hoping to only go up from here as I have/had really bad n*pple damage from being sized wrong and being elastic. All I have to say is it just brought me back to my childhood and seeing my kids so happy even when I was down and my husband noticing without me telling him and saying words of encouragement and flowers was it for me I love seeing my kids light up with joy!!! Here is a picture of one of my pumps this week it had been 3 weeks since I pumped more then 2oz in one go and a pic of the beautiful baby that it feeds!!!
I’ve had similar issues too, it took me ages to finally figure things out
