With my first baby I was definitely throwing spaghetti at the wall after the first couple of weeks. My LC never helped me find the root cause of my low supply. She started off by getting me flange sizing inserts and telling me to pump after feeds. She told me to get my son assessed for a tongue tie (he didn't have one and had a good latch) and start power pumping, and when that wasn't working after a few weeks, she suggested Legendairy Milk supplements. I eventually started triple feeding which was totally insane, then dropped the breast feeding, then dropped the pumping for just formula. This time, I need a different LC. My breastfeeding journey was the most horrible, painful part of having a newborn.

My baby is 10 weeks right now, and I'll go back to work when she is 12 weeks. I'm terrified I won't be able maintain the tiny amount I have now. I have tried almost everything you rattled off at the beginning of this video. I've seen multiple lactation consultants, and at my peak I was maybe pumping 6oz a day, with 8-10 pumping sessions. It has dropped now to about 4oz a day with the same number of sessions. I've been desperately "throwing spaghetti at the wall" trying to not lose what there is and hope I can maybe increase it. The two problems I've identified: I constantly have multiple small cloggs, but not to the point where they're painful or infected. My LC recommended both Sunflower lecithin and upping the choline in my diet. I have done this with no results. Through watching some of your videos, I also realized I had no idea what let down was. I had heard the term, but thought it was synonymous with expressing milk in any way. I know I have never experienced it, and no just in the way of some women don't feel it, but ive never had where everything starts to "flow". I have to fight for every drop-usually a regular pump isn't strong enough to do anything, (but i still try). I have to hand express almost everything, or occasionally a hand pump can get some, although that hasn't worked for the past two weeks. Any advice for achieving a let down if im this many weeks in and still haven't gotten there?

Tried everything also it seems like nothing is working to get my supply back up. Is it possible to schedule a consultation with your team? I've tried sending several emails being from Europe it was the only contact the website was directing me to. No luck so far 😢

Alison, thank you so much for this video! I have been going through this process in the past few months--my supply was great and I was making just enough for my baby and to put a little in the freezer; then I got food poisoning at 3 months pp and my supply tanked. I started using an electric pump, increased hydration, started taking Legendairy supplements, basically all the things you mentioned here (😂) and thankfully it has increased again. BUT, if I stop taking the supplements and try to decrease number of times pumping, it goes down again. Do you know why it might be struggling now after sickness if it was fine before?

[@NewLittleLife]

It’s a tricky timeline for you, in the first 3 months, you still kinda have the “training wheels” on with the post birth hormones, and after that it replies heavily on supply and demand instead of more hormonal drivers. If pumping practices aren’t quite right, sometimes it becomes more obvious after the 3 month mark. Your sickness might have kick started that process, just a guess! I hope you can find the things that continue to help and feel most sustainable for you 💙

Yeah I am at the point of giving up. I was super engorged when my milk came in and it took at least a week for my bad side to move again. Now I get 5-10 mL per 20 minute session on that side and my baby won't even use that side as a pacifier. 😢 At least my good side produces enough for her but I am frustrated after trying for 2 months to increase that side. I will just be lopsided I guess.

[@brookeceballos9159]

Do you think you might have mastitis?

[@caitlinbickings4454]

@brookeceballos9159 no the engorgement only lasted a week. I may have had it when this happened. I am assuming that my ducts shut down from it and I need to relactate.
