Pumping to increase milk supply is a common technique - but when is it most effective 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, there’s always various factors to consider - and I never recommend just pumping blindly for supply - but in general, the best times I find for pumping to increase supply are:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌙 When prolactin is highest - usually between 3-5 AM - but at least within the first 12 hours on the day.
🤱🏼 If you are nursing directly from the breast, shortly after a nursing session.

Again, these are just general recommendations. Sometimes, the best time is when you can make time. The best way to increase your supply is having a personalized plan just for you!
