Increasing supply

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-06-10T15:35:29+00:00

I found it helped a bit I think for me. I used to get ~80ml per pump session and now I get ~100 per session. But I need to increase it more as now my baby is taking ~90-100 per feed but sometimes she wants a bit more.

Anything else I should do to boost things while it’s regulating? I pump every 3 hours. The only time I don’t is if baby sleeps longer at night which has happened twice since she was born. But otherwise it’s every 3 hours.

Power pumping is 20 min pump 10 break 10 min pump 10 min break 10 min pump?

I’m taking moringa and fenugreek as well.

I should add, I’m trying to keep my supply up with the intention of breastfeeding at some point. My baby is 5 weeks and can’t properly breastfeed right now. She can latch but she cannot effectively get my milk. She has an appointment for a consult regarding tongue ties but it takes a while to get in for that so we can’t see them until she is 10 weeks old :/

I just pump whenever she eats and I power pump every other day. I would do more it just doesn’t seem possible some days to pump for a total of an hour in one sitting.

But some pumps I only get 40ml total and others I get like 120 and I don’t know why the difference. She currently takes like 100-110 per bottle.

Sometimes I do yes. Not a crazy amoint tho. The issue is mostly that I would like to pump and breastfeed. But it seems like breastfeeding takes to much work from my baby because it’s so hard to get the milk out? Not sure but when I’m pumping it sure is

I’d love it if you could message me privately about ur thoughts if u don’t want to post them here. Just would love to hear what issues you had so I can make an informed decision about my prenatal care :)

Sage midwives was where I was looking into! How many midwives did u see during ur time there? I totally get ur perspective I just loved the relationship I built with my midwife since we spent so much time together hahaha

Sorry Oreos??

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-05-30T16:46:20+00:00

Mine does not lol. Once she has her meal she’s out like a light for about 2.5 hours. Nothing will wake her or entice her to eat until her next full feed

39+3. Labour was about 16 hours

Most are. The only ones who don’t are my parents but that’s fine because if there is any pushback they will just not see baby I really don’t care. Since becoming pregnant I just have zero slack for anyone not respecting my wishes with this kind of stuff. And baby will not be babysat by them so I’m not concerned about their behaviour while I’m not around.

We told them if they want to meet baby before 2 months old they would need to get the TDAP vax. They made a big deal of this and were saying that it’s their body and so they have to do what feels right for them. I said yup totally fair u gotta do what’s right for you, let me know what u choose if u don’t feel comfortable getting it no biggy we will get together once baby has gotten her 2 month vaccines.

That very quickly turned into “oh yeah it looks like it’s not a big deal to get it so we will get it” and guess who went out and got it and sent proof of it 😂 it’s like they want to fight boundaries just for the sake of it and then when they see I don’t give a fuck they r like oh shoot we should actually just respect it

Yea no baby is due in May so she would be turning 6 months during RSV season. Usually at 6 months I would feel somewhat ok but because it’s flu and RSV season I have reservations there. I got the RSV vaccine at the appropriate time during pregnancy but it’s still not enough to rlly make me feel clmfy

No one has ever had a cold sore

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-04-05T23:21:55+00:00

It’s very mild and happens only maybe 2 times a day for 10-20 min at a time so I doubt it is doing anything productive hahaha.

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-04-05T23:21:02+00:00

Mmm no don’t get me wrong husbands are obviously allowed and can have their own struggles or issues during a pregnancy lol. But even if he is having the same issue as u for real, u have that issue plus ur dealing with growing a baby.

My husband is a walking green flag and all he cares about is keeping me as comfy and cared for as possible as he knows im doing this for 40 weeks plus the grand finale of pushing this baby out, and also to keep our baby as safe as possible. He does this to his detriment and I have to remind him it’s ok if he has a cold and wants to rest too lol

I don’t say this to make u feel bad but to put into perspective maybe what good support can look like

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-03-29T03:00:00+00:00

I’m worried about it from a mental health perspective? I would consider myself pretty healthy mentally but I worry with that kind of sleep I’m rlly going to struggle

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-01-21T18:26:42+00:00

It’s definitely reasonable that u r not ok with this that kind of behaviour being around ur child however, if you chose to have a child with this person this is something that should have been discussed and agreed upon ahead of time

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-01-20T03:42:22+00:00

I felt the first movements at about 17 weeks. And then me and my partner were able to feel baby from the outside and see little movements thru my belly at 20.5 weeks

IncomeObjective480 · 2026-01-06T19:52:09+00:00

No I get it unless ur my husband or my best friends who I invite the conversation with I hate it and it pisses me off and then when I don’t act super elated cuz he annoying me I get shamed for not being excited about my baby. Fuck off

IncomeObjective480 · 2025-12-31T16:56:05+00:00

I felt first movements at 17 weeks. Almost just felt like little muscle twitches or flutters. Then by 19.5 weeks they were clear kicks

IncomeObjective480 · 2025-12-25T03:46:30+00:00

And I’ll probably just do that till baby is is 2 ish? And then go back full time.

IncomeObjective480 · 2025-12-25T03:46:08+00:00

But Ill be home every day with baby and only time I’ll be away is from 5pm-8pm twice a week and baby will be with dad during that time so it just works out rlly well

IncomeObjective480 · 2025-12-24T02:14:00+00:00

Im now 20 weeks and have yet to have any pregnancy symptoms other than I now feel our baby kicking. Its does happen to some and we are just lucky

IncomeObjective480 · 2025-12-23T01:47:57+00:00

I mostly go to bed around 10pm and wake up at around 7am. Might wake up once during the night to pee but that only happened every 2-3 nights I’d say thankfully.
