How to increase breast milk?? My baby hungry all time... reason for low milk supply😢

[@realtalk8059]

They might eat all the time bc your supply is slower since it’s low and it takes longer for them to get full. Drink a crazy amount of water and track your consumption and add in electrolyte drinks I did 2 28 oz body armpits and my supply tripled over night maybe even add in the liquid Iv into your water

Thanks for sharing this! Could you maybe make a video of the first time and share the difficulties in the beginning? Or to ahow the amount you could pump per feed. I was searching for some videos in the beginning and it would have been helpful for others too 😊

[@mayakimj]

This video was so informative! I appreciate your research, transparency, tips, and encouragement. I am due in less than two months, and I am feeling more prepared to breastfeed than I've ever been. Thank you so much!

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

Aw I’m soooo glad it was helpful! Congratulations I wish you the very best 🥹🫶🏻

[@simplysaiige]

This was incredibly helpful. Im due next month & really want to avoid giving my baby formula. I’m still pretty intimidated, but having this info & coming back to it will make me a bit more confident. Thank you! 🥰

aw i’m so happy to help!!! ☺️ and congratulations i really hope everything goes smoothly 💓💓

Just started my breast pumping journey and I felt so overwhelmed. Your video really helped calm me down

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

congratulations on your baby 💓 and i’m sooo glad i could be helpful in your journey 🥹 wish you the best!

Last time I power pumped for 120 minutes and could only get two ounces total including both sides. I hope this time I will have more

[@pinkashp]

Keep going don’t get discouraged. Pumping on top of nursing really helped my supply

[@SugarSprinkles81]

Thanks for sharing!! So when we power pump is it something we do everytime like forever until we stop pumping for our baby, or is it until we have a good milk supply?

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

so happy to help!😊 that’s such a good question! i only power pumped to get my supply up and i didn’t need to keep it up to maintain it, just normal puming. power pumping mimics cluster feeding which your baby usually does during a growth spurt (sometimes for comfort) so it’s their way of telling your body you need more milk :)

[@Lveyou911]

Moms, How long did it take for your milk supply to come in after birth? My baby was born on Monday the 16th I feel like I’m working so hard just to barely get two oz ALL together for both breast combined :( any advice? I definitely think I need to get my breast sized for the correct flanges One boob I feel produces more milk too..

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

it usually comes in about a weeks time! keep trying 💘 it’s also normal that one produces more than the other, to help with that you can latch the side that doesn’t produce as much more often :) you got this mama 🫶🏼🫶🏼 congratulations 🥹

Very informative video. Thanks!!

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

so happy to help :)

[@dlpatrie8466]

Thanks for being so honest about how ROUGH those first couple months can be. I feel like that wasn't clear to me with my first baby and I gave up pretty quickly. I'm pregnant again and learning so much more this time to try again. 🤞🩷

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

I love being transparent because I feel the same! Even if something is hard I like to be mentally prepared so I know how to handle it instead of just being blindsided 🫠 Congratulations!! 🥹 excited for you and you can definitely do it!! 🩷

omg i’m so glad i could help 🥹💓 you got this!!! congratulations 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@kaelaerbe]

Do you use a bottle warmer or how do you warm up the milk from the fridge?

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

I usually just run it under hot water or let it sit in hot water

[@rosetadle9985]

great info.

[@flourisholuwagbemiga5338]

I am 4 months postpartum and i think i have spoilt my supply as i got really discouraged at some point. I want to ask if i take notes on all you have said in the video (drink water, eat well, pump 3 hours, do power pump, think positively). Can i get back on track or its too late for me?

[@flourisholuwagbemiga5338]

Thank you so much for your video. It helps a lot

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

aw congratulations on your little one 🥹 i totally have been there 😢 but you can definitely get back on track!! it’s just supply and demand so keep it up and that will definitely help. also remember to breathe and remember to not stress over it too much, it will come with consistency like what you took notes on from the video. you got this mama!! 💓💓

[@jenniferrodriguez261]

I am exclusively pumping as my son was in NICU. I have noticed a significant drop in my supply and am only producing the 2 ounces he eats. He is 3 weeks old.

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

i’m so sorry you had to go through the nicu it’s soooo emotionally and physically challenging with a newborn 🥺 but 2 oz is still great and hopefully the tips in this video help you feel encouraged to keep going. you can raise your supply back up! i know it’s so hard but prioritize rest whenever you can 🤍 it really helps your body produce milk and your brain to feel regular. wishing you smooth healing and adjusting!! you got this mama!

Is the wearable pump noisy?

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

not really, it’s still something you can hear as the suction pulls and releases but it’s really nothing too loud

[@slashp.279]

Great video!! Thank you ❤

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

so happy to help, thank you for this comment!! 💗

[@Warrior3I3]

Should I power pump every time I put the breast pump on ?

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

not necessarily, aim for twice a day until you see the supply increase and that should help!

[@Warrior3I3]

@@amandaelizabethvlogs so throughout the rest of the day you would only be pumping for 20 min per session

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

@@Warrior3I3 yes exactly!

How long does it take to empty your breast with Medela? How many minutes do you milk?

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

depends how long in between each pump session, anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes

What does your day look like between breastfeeding and pumping

[@amandaelizabethvlogs]

it usually looked like me nursing during the night and pumping throughout the day. if i ever didn’t want to get up to get the pump parts i would just nurse him directly lol but most of the time during the day was pumping
