Hi Marissa! Sleep is the hardest part of adjusting to a newborn. Sometimes babies get their night and day reversed. As they get older things will normalize. You can help baby by creating a routine for feeding and sleeping, which teaches baby when to sleep and when to wake. 💛

I wish someone would have told me about the feeding tube.. I would have never had to pause breastfeeding full time. I'm heartbroken about it but I got an electric pump to help.. I went from dripping to not even feeling a let down. It's very emotional for me rn.. because at first I had an abundance and my baby use to fall asleep feeding then it went to frustration while feeding then I gave her formula to supplement so she could be getting enough.. then frustration when offered the breast. She may latch for comfort maybe every other day.. but when she's hungry she wants the bottle. now I don't know if I will catch up to my baby's needs because I have to go back to work. I'm sad about that fr. In the past week I may have produced 5-8 Oz for my girl. She's had more formula this past month than when I first brought her home. I miss the bonding experience of nursing. I really do..

[@nofilterbtxh5000]

I struggled with feeding because the nurses didn’t give me any information about how to feed with a flat and inverted nipple.They used the basic knowledge on me ,pinched(and tore my nipples to the point I bleed)expecting my body to react the same as someone with normal nipples.I had to work on pulling my nipples out,forcing my baby to nurse,and then work on my supply too(since the poor latching decreased my amount).Power pumping is what did it for me!Increased my supply to the point I don’t need formula anymore and baby gets full(still need to work on producing enough to create a stash).Also the whole calories thing?I’d call it bs,I gained 2kg the first week of pp yet my milk supply was still very low BUT eating a protein and vegetables/fruit rich diet helps the quality of your milk(makes it fatter therefore keeping baby full longer).So try to sleep,nurse baby as much as possible,power pump at least 1h a day and eat healthy!

One word: MALTA! You're welcome 😆 I dont sleep, super stressed, sometimes I don't even have time to drink water, exclusive pumper yet malta seems to help anyway lol. For the exclusive breastfeeders: nurse, nurse, and nurse that baby some more. Use a haakaa with suction on the other side. Exclusive pumpers: pump every 3 hours during the day, aim for 8 times and do not skip the overnight pump! (You can sleep for one 5 hour stretch, then get back to it). Oh and MALTA! 😂 I use legendairy milk supplements, I also use various herbs, galactogogues/lactogenic food in my diet but its really not that serious unless you're like struggling. Nurse that baby! See an IBCLC for flange sizing help/pump settings if you're a pumper or need help with latching for nursing. ❤

If I am unable to pump right after feeding baby is there a cut off for when I should pump? Sometimes pumping after feeds leaves me completely empty for him when he’s ready.

[@catherineduna3718]

Good question. Relatable

[@KarmaKennedy]

Fantastic question! Does baby cluster feed? Several times in a short period? During a growth spurt? Pumping after a feed teaches your body to create more milk, and you can use the milk you pump for your baby’s next feeding while your body catches up to the increased demand. Your body will respond quickly, since baby naturally cluster feeds as they grow. Good luck!🤗💛

I’m sorry you’re struggling with your supply, I know that feeling and it’s awful. Try the fenugreek tablets and feeding tube method. Does baby still latch or has he started to show a lack of interest? How long have you been pumping?

Hand expressing works just fine. You don’t need to pump for an hour straight. Just try short 10 min hand expressing or manual pumping throughout your day. After each feed is best. It’s not about how much comes out, you just want to empty your breast so your body triggers more milk production. The feeding tube method will help your son want to nurse. You can get a free feeding tube at a breastfeeding clinic. Are there any in your area?

I am a new mom i just had my baby on july 4 today i was trying to pump for first time to see how much milk i am making because i feel like my baby is not getting enough milk i breastfeed . I pump today and it bearly coming out to 1 :/ i am worried now

[@KarmaKennedy]

Hi Rocio! Congrats on your new baby! I totally understand your worry. First things first, count how many soiled diapers your baby is making over a 24 hour period. At this age, it should be at least 5-6 diapers (pee and poop combined). If baby is gaining weight, seems happy and energetic, and is soiling enough diapers, your milk supply is just fine. Breast pumps are good at removing milk from the breast but babies are EXPERTS. The pump removes only a fraction of what baby is capable of so please don’t worry about how much comes out. As your body gets used to pumping, you’ll see more milk over time. Don’t give up! The other thing to check is baby’s latch. Is baby latching on just the nipple or does baby have a good mouthful of boob? Hope this helps! 💛

[@noriahal-yahya5945]

Hi Noriah! It’s definitely possible to jumpstart your milk production after you stop breastfeeding. It may not happen overnight but it is definitely worth the effort. Try the fenugreek and blessed thistle supplements along with pumping and the other tips. It may take some time but don’t give up! 🤗💛

How can I use that tube thing if my baby doesn’t want my breast I have tried everything to put him on my Breast but ended up with formula and I hardly get time for pumping cuz whenever I pump I get only 40 or 60 ml.

[@KarmaKennedy]

I know it can be hard to juggle all these things when you’re exhausted and looking after a new baby. If baby doesn’t want to latch you can try encouraging him with taste. Maybe hand express some milk into baby’s mouth to motivate them to want to latch. You’ll need to try hand expressing several times a day to encourage baby to the breast. I have a video on hand expressing if you need any more help. 💛

[@todaywithtahzae]

What kind of feeding tube did you get

[@Simply_Nargis]

I’m 3 days postpartum and was breastfeeding my baby. I would nurse for hours and he would still be hungry afterwards. I started supplementing and decided to pump to see how much I was making. I’m only pumping 1oz of colostrum :( is this normal?

[@KarmaKennedy]

Great question! In the first few days your body is making colostrum and it’s a lot thicker than milk. Your pump probably won’t get a lot out. Your milk will start coming in over the next few days. You’re doing a great job by allowing baby to nurse often. Keep it up! It’s helping your milk to come in! Don’t worry about how much milk comes out when you pump. Babies are better at removing milk then breast pumps. Keep nursing baby as often as possible and pumping after each feed, it will definitely help your milk supply. Does baby have a good latch? Are you sore afterwards?

[@Simply_Nargis]

Thank you for responding!! Yes, he has a good latch but as soon as he latches on, he falls asleep and it’s a struggle to get him to wake up and nurse. I’m afraid that if I keep giving him the bottle, he won’t want to drink from my breast anymore or he’ll have nipple confusion.

[@KarmaKennedy]

No worries! So could be a couple things. When you latch him is he TIRED or hungry? My babies loved to nurse themselves to sleep. Try looking for hunger cues like rooting (head banging on your chest) or sucking his closed fist. Does he open real wide just before you latch? Is he already sleepy before he latched? You can also change your position so he’s not interested in sleeping. If he’s too comfortable he’s gonna fall asleep every time. You could do skin to skin, keeping him in just a diaper, or change your hold. If he likes cradle hold, try football hold. What’s his feeding routine?

[@sevene7e]

1 oz is super good! I was only pumping 5ml first few days of discharge.. your body is amazing and knows exactly how to feed your baby. Your milk supply will increase gradually as baby’s appetite increase correspondingly. Don’t worry too much about it. Just supplement for the first few days if you think you don’t have enough. Fed is best. Don’t need to feel guilty for providing formula.

Help my 3 week old will not latch at all I’m pumping every 3 hrs 1 ounce only.

[@bassma.hajlas]

Thaaank you for these golden steps, i had CS and my baby is just 3 months and I feel that my milk is just decreased too much 💔 and I started to give formula many times during the day.. dear, my question is, how many minutes i have to pump aftee feeding my baby? And do I have to pump even if my baby sleeping?

[@HEYBEAUTYFINLAND]

I think you should pump when baby is sleeping

[@KarmaKennedy]

Great question! It’s not about how LONG you pump, it’s more about how OFTEN you pump. You want to trick your body into thinking baby is cluster feeding and going through a growth spurt. Pump until your let down starts, when that happens you can stop after 2-3 minutes if you like, or you can go until you feel like no more milk is coming out. The more formula you give the less baby is drinking from you. This is partially why you may feel your milk is low. Try the feeding tube method with your formula and see if that helps. Good Luck Bassma!

Same problem I have with my new born

[@gloriouspurposee]

Hello my baby is 6 weeks old & due to clogging /pain issues l decided to exclusively pump planning on nursing once those issues got resolved . I’m better now but we’ve started formula (mixing with breastmilk in the beginning) and I’ve been sick twice since I’ve been home from the hospital😞 I’ve been pumping when consistent every 2-3 hrs yielding maybe 2 oz total each time . can l still build my supply & possibly start breastfeeding even though l haven’t had a let down in 2 weeks ? Help!!!

[@KarmaKennedy]

Absolutely Kaila! You can definitely start lactating again, but you’ll need to be consistent with deep latching baby and nursing as often as possible. Try the feeding tube technique with formula so baby still gets what they need, and try the fenugreek and blessed thistle supplements to jump start your milk. Remember to keep taking your prenatal vitamins as well. This will also be a big help to start breastfeeding without any pain kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHWvh2ejfbWNoMU 💛

[@gloriouspurposee]

@@KarmaKennedy ThankYou for you speedy response 😊 I’ve purchased fenugreek pills, mothers milk tea & 3 bags of blessed thistle loose leaf tea that l have looked high and low on google and KZbin for a recipe to no avail 😔 any recommendations for how to prepare blessed thistle loose leaf tea ?

[@KarmaKennedy]

@@gloriouspurposee that’s awesome! I’ve never tried blessed thistle loose leaf tea, but like most other loose leaf teas you can use a tea holder to make one cup at a time or if you steep a large batch you can turn it into iced tea and keep it in your fridge so you can drink it as often as you want. You could try adding lemon / lime and honey to add some flavour once your tea has been chilled. 😁💛

[@gloriouspurposee]

@@KarmaKennedy ThankYou! I have a tea strainer but chile the tea is BITTER 😣 l tried honey, lemon & sugar in the last batch and could barely stomach it perhaps adding milk will do the trick💡 any idea how many cups a day l should be drinking ?

[@KarmaKennedy]

😂🤣 I know what you mean, that’s why I prefer the capsules. Try to sweeten with Stevia, as much as you can stand. The sweet will cut the bitter taste. How much lemon did you add? I would start slow with any new herbal remedy. Start with one cup a day for a few days and then add another cup per day. Increase it slowly until you start to see results. You don’t want to overdo it though so maybe no more than two cups a day. It also depends on how concentrated you make the tea. 🤗💛

Oh man currently trying to increase my supply for my ebf 4 month old twin boys. They eat a ton. They nurse frequently and for a long time. I started power pumping once at night and once in the morning between regular feeds. I’ve been doing this for a few days. I also let them nurse every 2 hours instead of every 3. I feel like my supply has increased some but I’m not sure it’s enough. After feeding them both I will pump right after and make about 8oz combined during my pump session. So with pumping twice, that’s 16 extra oz a day on top of nursing every 2 hours. It feels impossible to keep up. This morning my twins stayed asleep about an hour longer than normal and I took the opportunity to pump and then take a shower right after. Well once the twins woke up, I was still pretty empty because I had just finished power pumping about 15 min earlier. Well long story short, one of them would not stay latched because he was super hungry (understandable) so I went ahead and gave him the fresh milk I just pumped. He drank 8 or 9oz. I was so shocked. How am I to keep up with this kind of appetite? Is it possible to make 8 oz for each breast every 2 hours? I usually only do a bottle after a full feed. So it was something new to see how much he drank on an empty stomach.

Hello what’s the recipe for your smoothie lactation? I’m trying to get my supply back

[@sabaadam42]

Hey pls can u help me when I m breastfeeding my baby is cranky maybe bcoz of the low milk supply and she is never satisfied after the feed so I m using formula for her, but twice a day I pumping and get only 1 ounce per session

[@sabaadam42]

And also I completed one still what can help me

[@KarmaKennedy]

Hi Saba! I know babies can get frustrated if they are not getting enough milk. Have you met with a nurse or lactation consultant to see if you’re getting a good latch? If baby’s latch is too shallow it will mean baby’s not getting enough which would definitely make them cranky. It also means that your body may think your baby doesn’t need a lot of milk if you don’t empty your breast every time. You can try hand expressing and working on your latch. I have more videos on getting the perfect latch and hand expressing to increase milk supply. Hope that helps!💛

My supply has been the same since 9 gave birth Sept 15. It's between 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 has been my max. Please advice. My baby is still in NICU but hopefully gets to go home today Nov 3rd. Please please advice. I am so desperate. Can you let me know how to make the smoothie or what foods to eat. I know I am not eating enough

[@KarmaKennedy]

I hear you momma, there are some great foods and smoothie recipes that can also help. Try this kzbin.info/aero/PLQtARHIuIBzn5KFMRXiX9O5pS-8-k1jUV

Can you explain what you did with the feeding tube?

[@KarmaKennedy]

First you latch baby deeply on the breast. Then you slowly insert the feeding tube into their mouth without breaking their latch. If baby continues to nurse and the formula moves up the feeding tube, you’ve done it correctly. The feeding tube acts like a big straw, but because it’s so thin, baby only gets a little bit of formula as they nurse. This way baby doesn’t get nipple confusion (breast vs. bottle) and they are also nursing which teaches your body to make more milk. The more baby nurses the more your body will create. In the meantime, baby isn’t left hungry since they are also drinking the formula through the tube. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! 💛

@@KarmaKennedy i needed this explanation because I was so confused. 😄

Can you share the link to this feeding tube? Or the brand? I can’t seem to find it online

[@emilyhaynes2285]

You can also do this with pumped breast milk! I did this when my baby was having trouble with her latch.

[@roodballetje15]

Why feed with a feeding tube?? What's happens with the body? Since the feedingtube is being fed with formula? I don't understand

[@KarmaKennedy]

Great question! This tip is for moms whose milk may not have come in yet, or are In the beginning of their breast feeding journey. This technique is the best of both worlds! While baby is nursing they get whatever golden goodness mom has to offer and at the same time they suck in formula through the feeding tube so they feel full and nourished. The reason for the feeding tube is to give baby enough food while still creating a demand for the body to produce milk. The more baby nurses the harder the body works to make more. If baby is bottle fed, it’s a missed opportunity to create more demand. I hope this helps!😁💛
