HEY Ya'll- here's an updated video from this milky mama of 2 now :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3mom4eqfd1lbrssi=4fZMkQozUflZUQDF

[@Lowkilitt]

I lost my first daughter during birth and started developing milk so soon which was so hard for me to deal with at the time. but I’m currently pregnant with my second which will be a boy! And I’m praying I can breast feed this time! Due date February 9th! Please keep me in ur prayers . Thanks for the video ❤

[@ybur6760]

Wish you nothing but a healthy delivery and baby congrats

[@TheeNetwork02]

That was my due date too but baby came super early😩. Thankfully he’s developed enough to survive in the NICU with special care

[@n.c.4829]

I was very naive about how I expected my breastfeeding journey to go. I had every intention of breastfeeding exclusively and on demand. My baby girl is 1 month old and I've fed her from my breast only a handful of times. This compounded with baby blues has been very difficult to manage, and although I'm in a better place now that my hormones have stabilized, I find myself grieving from time to time. My best advice, work with a lactation consultant, stay hydrated, and remember supply and demand is the greatest contributor to establishing your milk production. Lastly, if pumping, be sure to get a session in overnight. Between midnight and 6am on average is when we produce the highest levels of prolactin. This will be a big help in getting your milk to increase. Learned that gem of advice from my IBCLC. Best wishes to all of you mamas out there. ❤️

[@kaylendasia471]

Breastfeeding is the best thing I’ve done for my son! He will be 9 months on the 24th, still breastfed. It’s def not the easiest thing and very time consuming but I feel it’s the best choice for my son. It’s a blessing to be able to breastfeed. I encourage everyone to at least try.

[@VanessaBellaBeauty]

I’m watching this video like I’m pregnant or have a newborn. I have a 3yr old and I breastfed her for 21 months. One thing that you said was, after she nursed you could only pump 1oz. That’s perfectly normal. That means she emptied both breast. If she didn’t nurse and you just exclusively pumped, I guarantee you would’ve pumped at least 3-4oz. I’m one of those 1% who tried the cookies, those pills, drinks and the cookies and brownies by that same lactation company. None of those things worked for me. I returned back to work when my baby was 4mo and I would pump every few hours while at work so she would have milk for the next day. I never produced enough milk to have an overflow but I was always able to pump enough where she wasn’t hungry. Breastfed babies don’t drink as much as formula fed babies. Like, my baby never drank more than 3oz of milk from a bottle. I say alllll of that to say, you’re more than enough and don’t stress or obsesses yourself with a milk supply. Your milk changes as your baby grows so you’ll find yourself with a large stash of milk that’s different from what your body produces now. I hope that makes sense. Your milk will get fattier and more golden in color as your baby girl grows. Don’t stress. You’re doing a great job and you got this.

[@naturalise2039]

Thank you for your advice. Daughter just got out of nicu and has pretty much used up all that I had produced when she was in there since we have been home. I will nurse her more and pump after! I just need to figure out how she’ll let me pump 😅

[@malaikah8329]

In addition, try to stay away from cold foods and drinks.. After birth it is best to eat rich warm foods.. Have soups, broth, porridge, drink tea.. it really helps

[@skyyclark2293]

hey girl ! i drink body armor tropical coconut drinks, LOTS of water, and lactation cookies. also making sure i eat good meals! i now pump about 15oz in the morning from over night and 8-10oz during the day! i’ve been following for a while, love your channel ! and yessss girl the first 2-3 weeks of breastfeeding when i had my baby girl in september was the hardest ! you are an amazing mother wanted to let you know that ! 🥰

[@ShesRelatable]

Outside of the lactation pills and snacks did you drink the armor tropical drinks during pregnancy? I'm 28 weeks with my 2nd. I had a c section and I couldn't get my supply for anything. So this time around I want to prepare.

Keep pushing through! My baby is almost a month old and I’m not giving up on getting her fully breastfed. I still have to sometimes give formula so she can feel full. But I’m not giving up.

This is amazing....Let God use you; we need influencers in the breastfeeding world. I breastfed all 4 of my boys. I use to be a peer counselor for WIC, a quick tip to increase milk production is the more you breastfeed, the more milk you make. I used fenugreek and pump when my little one was sleep. Great job keep going

YOU DOING GOOOODDDTTTT ! Greatest advice to give momma! Congratulations again & welcome to mommyhood. Wishing you nothing but the best in your new life of MOMPRENUERSHIP! I had 3 babies vaginally & my supply didn’t come until 12-24+ hours later. I just kept doing skin to skin & letting them nurse. Their saliva & suction on the nipple triggers the release of prolactin hormones. The body naturally communicates with the baby to know how much the body should produce for the baby, even when baby is sick, the body increases the antibodies necessary to heal the baby. When using things to increase milk supply, be careful because it can make your breast sore in long run & pumping too much can leave nipples raw and have swollen/ blocked milk ducts. 4 bottles of water is half a gallon, I aim for half at least and shoot for 8 bottles a day. Breastmilk is 90% water and 10% fat. I had 2 unassisted home births & my last was a hospital birth. My 3rd baby started cluster feeding around 12 hours old and that bought in a increase in my milk. He nursed every hour on the hour. My daughter started cluster feeding around 20 hours old. I was concerned that all my placenta didn’t come out reason why my milk didn’t come in immediately but I was fine. My first born, my milk came in the next day but we both slept the first day away and he cluster fed! He was born 9 pounds, by 3 weeks he had 3 growth spurts weighing 13 pounds and grew a inch and a half. He was 15 pounds by the time he was 1. Trust your body to do exactly what needs to be done, c-section or not. It is the physical representation of god and does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’m a herbalist and holistic birth and postpartum doula, offering prenatal support as well. Herbs like nettle leaf, alfalfa, & fennel are great for increasing milk supply. I used fenugreek and it helped to, some women say it stopped their supply. This won’t be the last time you experience her having a growth spurt & needing more milk. Eat foods like chic peas, flax seeds, kale oatmeal, almond milk & Irish moss. Also, your body is still trying to regulate hormones wise, keep taking your prenatal vitamins. Include maca root in your diet. Irregular hormones can lead to postpartum alopecia, stress and most cases pp depression. & one last thing, eat 3x more calories so you can keep your energy. Get lots of sleep to regulate stress levels. Your doing a great job momma! For your first baby you got the game down pack! Your angel is beautiful (she’s look just like her daddy) Dont hesitate to contact me when you need to. I make herbal prenatal & postpartum vitamins with grade A quality sea vegetables. Now let’s celebrate..SIS YOU DOING A GOOD JOB, SIS YOU DOING A GOOD JOB!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@GingeRenee]

Wow! So helpful! My baby is just one week short of being 2 months and my milk supply has gone way down to the point I had to put him on formula. I hope trying these methods will bring my supply back up. I became very very skinny from breastfeeding as well and that postpartum depression got me a bit! I tell myself that if my baby is good that’s all that matters so that’s what motivates me not to worry about how my body looks. Thanks Ericka this was very thoughtful of you! 😘

[@ReRe-jq4ft]

Oatmeal Is key for breast milk supply! It's the first thing the older folks will tell you to start eating before giving birth so that your milk supply can come in right after birth.

[@babybc8810]

It really works! For my first I ate oatmeal before birth and my breasts were leaking. This time around I didn’t eat oatmeal and I’m due in one week. No milk yet. However I had issues in my first pregnancy so I couldn’t breastfeed. I’m hoping this time is different. Gonna have to go buy some oats!

My milk supply is good but during my period it decreases and I didn’t know you could do all this to try and help the milk supply.

After my period leaves my milk supply goes back to normal. This video has been so helpful! Thank you!

2x C section mommy here (emergency C section + NICU time and 1 planned) With my first baby I had all the same feeling you had and was trying everything to breast feed my baby and I was successful but it definitely was depressing at times where I saw only 1oz or when I realized I wasn't a COW /oversuppler. My 2 baby I took a better route for my self and it was a lot more relaxed and I decided NOT to try all the cookies and teas and fenugreek and supplement but insteadput baby to the breast and use a Hakka on the breast he wasn't nursing and it made a HELL of a difference FOR ME. I decided to pump 1 or 2x a day and let him nurse all the other times and surprisingly I was able to build a stash that he was able to use well after 12 months.

My goal is to stop formula completely.

[@lob1248]

I guess planned C-section is different. I was numb only from below my chest down and I did skin to skin immediately after she was out. My boyfriend and the nurses took turns holding my baby against my cheek and I breastfeed as soon as I was back in the postpartum room. The first 48hrs after the birth you only get colostrum which is your first milk, very important and it’s just literally drops. Breastfeeding is hard, even for experienced moms like me (on my third baby now). Don’t get discouraged, keep trying, do your best but be at peace if you have to feed with formula. With that said, all these videos about increasing milk supply are just maybe helpful for your mindset. I watched tons but I realized these cookies, and tea and other stuff is just unnecessary. I got nervous when I figured I wasn’t making enough but after trying all kinds of products, I remembered it takes time, water and eating well to produce the necessary milk for my baby. Don’t stress yourself out. It will be close to a month before you start seeing an increase in your milk supply. Be patient with yourself and know your body will do it’s thing. ❤

[@kaliyahball415]

Just here to be informative, I mean no harm at all.. I breastfed 2 babies.. your body will definitely produce enough milk for him if you keep him at the breast, even if it seems like he just ate. Our breast milk is thinner than formula so babies digest it extremely quickly, resulting in them eating more. Your milk supply increases the more you put him to the breast, so if you supplement with formula those times your body feels like he doesn’t need the milk which will decrease your supply. Keep pumping and feeding as much as possible and eventually your body will know exactly how much your baby wants. You’re doing great 🤍

I just had an emergency C section 12 days ago to save my daughter's life. She is 27 weeks and 1 day. I'm still not able to have much skin to skin with her as much. How ever she is growing quickly and needs more milk than I can produce. I'm so happy I ran across this video, I have hope again.

[@IAmErickaJChannel]

You can definitely produce the milk you have to start power pumping to get your body to keep the milk flowing. The more you remove milk the more you make

[@maureenm8046]

Nothing has worked for me for all those supplements. What am learning is to eat well (constantly) and hydrate for your body to feel good and if you reduce stress; your body can make milk. Removing it (breastfeeding & pumping) often signals the body to make more. Good luck to us mamas!

Your baby is beautiful. Well this was encouraging. I had to have my baby girl at 35 weeks and we had to stay in nicu for 2 weeks. I used that mother's milk in previous pregnancies and that was all I used. But this one..... way different and I guess since she was taken from me right after birth she had been rejecting direct feeding. So I drank that tea and I was pumping out so so so much milk. Got home and end up getting nipple shield shaped like a bottle for her to direct feed and I stopped pumping and this milk has decreased drastically. Then my dang nipples cracked.... currently using mothers milk, goats rue herbal tea, and a supplement. Going to be trying to stay consistent with trying to get her to latch and this power pumping. I know that was a lot but I read comments and being a mommy is hard. We ALL NEED SUPPORT!!!!

I was like you, I always new I wanted to breastfeed. I had my baby boy in September and I almost asked for formula because I thought my baby was not getting any milk from my breast because I was not seeing any milk. Also the midwife told me that my baby had lost weight but she said that was normal for babies that are only breast fed. My baby is 5 weeks and am seeing more milk and he has gained weight however breastfeeding is still not easy and am finding it hard to express. Being a new mum is not easy but I would not change it for anything in this world especially when you have gone through the lost of a child and miscarriage. I pray that God makes it easy to those who are in the same situation and are trying, God bless.

I wish I had these tools when I had my two boys, it was so hard for me to produce milk & I became so overwhelmed I just gave up. The nurses were intimidating & forceful about breastfeeding but not supportive & caring. So glad you can help new moms & you look beautiful. 😍

I am defiantly going to comeback to this video when i got pregnant with my second baby! So much information and helpful as well, with my first I thought the milk will come naturally, didn’t know about these things and eventually give up on breastfeeding, i was depressed for a while because of it Thank you so much for your effort

[@butt3rflyb3auty3]

Ericka J you just blessed me tremendously. Thank you for keeping it real and transparent and for your tips. I will definitely try some of these products. I've wanted to give up, because just like you girl, 1 oz total. Thank you! Congratulations! So proud of you and thank you for inspiring us to keep trying.

Awww look at her holding that head up strong😍 Sooo loving this Ericka 🤎🤎

[@dfemc]

Thank you Mamas for the awesome guidance. Much respects to your journey. I’m also an IVF mama and on top of that using surrogacy. I’m expecting my baby soon and found out I can induce lactation without being preggo. My surrogate’s no comfortable breast feeding, as she struggled too. So I’m hoping to feed my baby milk and these are great tips. Love the honest review and mama wisdom. Your baby girl is beautiful!

[@MillionaireMali84]

Thank you soo much for this informative video. My baby girl is just a month old and she been on breast solely since birth. With me headed back to work in September and daddy and brothers wanting to bond with her more, it’s time to pump. Been searching all day for education and you are a blessing ❤ Thank you 😌

[@daniellewheeler8061]

I truly enjoyed ur video. I'm currently 25 weeks today & I've been spending time looking for things to help me make sure I have a good milk supply for my baby girl. I didn't have any problems with producing milk with my two sons but I ended up giving them formula. When u said that u r gonna make ur own baby food that made me smile so much cause I'm gonna do that as well. Now I'm even more secure with my decisions on the things I want to do for my milk supply since I saw the things u use. Thanks for this video & ur input. Btw ur daughter is so precious & beautiful.

[@KimaniStHill]

Greens are good for milk supply; smoothies, juices, soups and salads are very healthy and nourishing for both mother and baby. You have to begin practicing while pregnant and while breastfeeding and it wouldn't be so hard

[@AndrewWorthy]

That’s crazy… U braided My Hair a few times back when I was staying near Savannah. Good to see Ur well and still doing Ya thing. 🤙🏾💯

[@Nutri-mama-254]

Lactating tea and cookies worked for me. I only got 3 subscribers but I realised with my nutrition practice, why not share my nutrition information with those that need it.

[@amekarobinson2838]

Glad I’m looking at this because I’m breastfeeding as well. Just had an baby , 4 days old.

[@glowingwithsha]

I’m not alone! I went through this however I GAVE UP. Pregnant with second baby and ready to try again. I did have a breast reduction in 2015. I’m about to stock up now 🤣

[@babybc8810]

Girl same! I’m due any day now. I’m so scared but I’m hoping it works out for me this time around.

[@glowingwithsha]

I’m having a hard time with newborn BUT I haven’t gave up. I pump everyday and hopefully I can increase my supply . I drink lots of water and tried coconut water I’m going to supplements now

[@MadamNomad]

My son is 5 weeks old and I am trying to increase my milk supply and get him on breast milk exclusively! I had an emergency C-section (again, my water broke but labour didn’t start for a V-back) Been having troubles with my milk production and postpartum after delivery. Thank you for your tips and tricks!! You are doing amazing!

[@MadamNomad]

I picked up those cookies today and another box of tea! The cookies are amazing!

[@Justredinta]

Are you me? Because exactly that's what happened.

[@BrianneIrene]

Thank you so much for making this video, you gave me hope. To not give up yet. Im gunna try these suggestions first 🙏 thank you

[@makaylajohnson5748]

Yess I needed this video. I’ve been breastfeeding my baby for 9 months now & my supply is up/down. I’ve tried most of the items in the video. I’m going to try the liquid gold and pump Princess🥰 I definitely don’t want to stop breastfeeding, especially with how far I’ve come!

[@nivethanivetha4343]

Where did u get that?? Can u pls tell me here she what are the product she used to increase for breast feeding

[@j3ss2lovs]

That brand Legendary Milk is the truth!!!! Mommies if you feel it worked at first but then stopped you just need to up how many times you take it and you can mix it up too. I’m taking liquid gold, pumping princess and milkapalooza. So what I’m doing right now is I take two pumping princess and two milkapalooza (the milkapalooza is more of a nourishment for your milk). Then around noon to four hours later I take liquid gold and milkapalooza, same dose as before. Then I take the first round again about mid evening. Then again before bed. My baby will be two months on the 28th of March and I am exclusively breastfeeding.

[@padmajaan2068]

Wow thank you for sharing your story. I love your perseverance and your baby is indeed a blessing. Cheers 🥂

[@RERK8]

This was really informative and relatable. Thank you for sharing! And baby girl is absolutely stunning.

[@sarahp.3772]

For working moms, you should start pumping as soon as your milk supply comes in every 3 hours to really gain a freezer supply. For SAHMs, same thing if you want a freezer supply, however there is a little bit of Leeway as you don't need a huge freezer supply.

[@Miraclesinspanish]

You’re such a wonderful mother. Love your persistent love.

[@user-gg1lb3pw2e]

My baby boy is 5 days old. I really enjoyed this video and your advice. Thank you for sharing and being real.

[@Natra9]

OMG I needed this video you don't know how many times I got discouraged because my milk supply was so low and see my baby when he was born he went straight to the NICU and then from there had to have emergency surgery so I wasn't around my baby on the first week he was born when. So when I finally saw my baby I made sure I pumped and I pumped and I pumped again and at first I can produce like maybe 50 ml. I'm still struggling now because he is still in the hospital and I still pump at night but waking up every 2 to 3 hours is so exhausting and I got discouraged because I didn't know what to do I tried. I drink the body armor and I have to admit sometimes I do forget to eat because my days be so full and the time just get away from me. But I'd still continue to pump even though it's very little very little but it means something.

[@angelinadasher8229]

Omgoshh I needed to see this I’m literally coming back from target getting cookies and mommy milk cause I had an emergency c section,my baby is a month and 2 days now my milk supply has been dry and nOw she’s drinking more Milk..this video really made me excited I’ll be back in a couple of days tell you how it’s going thank you

[@LUKE-TeNnIneTeeN]

Beautiful mom and baby! I made my own lactation cookies from scratch! natural is best. I feel you on the formula. my thing is why are they giving babies similac in the hospital after that quiet commercial for the similac lawsuit? that was my motivation as well. I barely slept. my daughter was in the NICU for a week. she is on oxygen and has pulmonary hypertension 😔 I decided since everything is being recalled because of poison or whatever they putting in food ...I decided to try to make everything from scratch and try natural stuff to increase milk supply. one thing I was told is that it's best to get up between 3a-6a to pump. It is difficult. my milk is slowly starting to increase! Get it girl🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jordansargent2255]

Literally crying watching this. Ty

[@kennedyhuie3603]

I take prenatals without folic acid, I got my placenta encapsulated so I take a pill a day of my placenta , I drink oat milk , oatmeal, coconut water and honey , body armor so much water and a bunch of food 💓
