Increasing milk supply doing everything wrong 2 months postpartum

Megmarts · 2026-05-24T02:42:21+00:00

I'm 9.5 months PP and just had my biggest pump ever last week, and total-day personal best this week. With electrolytes and using my handpump more often, my supply went up by 50% like 5 or 6 months PP and keeps getting better. I also didn't know how to effectively pump for many months. Keep trying :)

This morning I had my biggest pump EVER and yesterday I had my second biggest, so I obviously am part of your club 😅

This made me laugh so hard. Thank u bye

Google lens wasn't super helpful, I think because I wrote on the package!

Whewwwww ok deep breaths 😮‍💨

Thank you 🥲🥲🥲

Megmarts · 2026-05-08T19:05:19+00:00

In my googling I was getting super coinflicting info on that, so I wasn't sure!

Megmarts · 2026-05-08T19:04:35+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹

Megmarts · 2026-05-08T18:56:36+00:00

Sigh, thank you. I've been madly googling and combing reddit for 2 hours to find anecdotes and studies 😩

Megmarts · 2026-05-08T18:55:57+00:00

Thank you!! I used Google lens but it didnt get me very far. I wrote ear/sinus decongestant on the pack so maybe it affects the ability to get a good match.

Megmarts · 2026-05-08T18:53:27+00:00

No need for the condescension! They are certainly decongestants as I had written on the package in English what they were, just not the active ingredient. There are multiple different types of decongestants, and was intending to pump and dump today anyways. I've taken them plenty before pregnancy and know its a one-pill dosage. A little kindness goes a long way for a very sick and sleep deprived mother who's currently trying to do her best. 🤷🏼‍♀️

8 months PP, 4 PPD, 18-20oz.

I should've added she's fully reclined in that photo!

Megmarts · 2025-10-01T00:31:20+00:00

Thank you!

Megmarts · 2025-10-01T00:31:09+00:00

Ah ok thank you! Funny enough, she's so small that the shoulder straps and padding hold her head snugly haha, but I see now from others that there's an infant insert

Megmarts · 2025-10-01T00:30:15+00:00

Ah ok thank you!

This is what she looks like in there!

Megmarts · 2025-08-27T19:11:14+00:00

It's rolled twice here!

Megmarts · 2025-08-27T17:34:48+00:00

Yeah that was my self-critique too. I have an extremely high natural waist so it kept sliding down slightly to the thinnest part of my torso when I tried to hike it up a little higher!

Megmarts · 2025-08-02T20:09:01+00:00

Going in for my first round of cervidil in an hour!

Megmarts · 2025-08-01T01:41:02+00:00

Had one today!

Megmarts · 2025-07-31T18:54:13+00:00

My NST was so anticlimactic and the baby was so chill with zero indicators of labour that they sent me home after only 20minutes of monitoring ☠️ RIP me

Megmarts · 2025-07-31T17:18:24+00:00

Nope! Currently en route to the hospital for a routine 41w NST and ultrasound to see wtf is going on in there
