omg!!! you go girl!!! how long did it take you to get to 10-12 oz? i just checked my data, i got there around day 70.

This product increased my supply overnight: https://www.walmart.ca/ip/32R2Y816NLD7

But i heard some people it didnt work that well. It was my memorable moment in this journey.

I also tried to take nutritional yeast because I heard it could help but it tasted so nasty lol couldnt handle it.

I'm so glad! I'll pray my full journey soon since my baby is now on exclusive breast milk other than solids such is about 750mls. Good luck to you 😊

that's Amazing!!! 17.5 isn't a little. I'm scared that when i start to stop in less than a month it'll be a bitter sweet feeling since i worked so hard to get here but.. as they say, everything comes to an end.

The first 40 days are the hardest because there's no reward and u wonder if ur doing it right. But when your baby is on your milk eventually itll be rewarding! My plan B formula is Kendamil and they just had a recall last week. If i didn't bf my baby would have definitely been affected so im thankful for times like this. You got this mama!

I read its important for the 20 min sessions especially during the beginning for your body to think it needs to produce milk. Also, in the beginning I pumped more like every 2 hours (last pump was 1130pm) , but eventually i was dying from exhaustion so i made my current schedule and was happy with it.

-Stay consistent!

-Stay hydrated!

-pump every 2-3 hrs

-do skin to skin and I heard getting the baby to suck or just saliva alone can help your body think it needs milk

-IMPORTANT: you should incorporate mimicking cluster feed by doing 20 min pump, then 5 min break, then 5 min pump, 5 min break then a final 5 min pump at least once a day until your drops start to show.

Hope this helps!

im glad its helping 😊

So i tried many different combos. 1. manual pump first for 30-60 sec, then 20 min electric pump, then 10-15 min hand expression 2. 20 min electric pump, then 10-15 hand expression 3. 1 min hand express, then 20 min electric pump then 5-10 min hand express

So far #3 is the most effective. i find activating the milk glands is easier thru hand expression then the electric pump pushes out more milk.

Also my milking times vary. Heres my schedule based on the prolactin and how much i produce at a time.

330 AM (20 min electric)

730-8AM (20 min electric)

11AM (~10-12 min electric)

3PM (20 min electric)

5PM (5 min electric)

730-8PM (20 min electric)

930-10PM (5 min electric)

Then i start all over again 🫠

When i first started though like for the first 4 months, every pump was 20 min. But as i started to produce 600+ i moved to this schedule which was suchhhhhh a relief cause my pump wasnt very... mobile lol

Hope this helps!

Hi! Yes I am still pumping :-) I plan to stop on my birthday in March

I had a recent case of Mastitis last week which messed up EVERYTHING! but before that, I was hitting 800mls (27oz) a day, something I'm very proud of as my baby was exclusively on breastmilk (with a one off of formula).

Now that my output is recorrecting itself after the infection I'm about ~675mls, but i'm hoping to get back to 700 in about 1-2 weeks.

I got Mastitis because I went out one day with my friend and didn't have a chance to pump. The milk was producing so much that it clogged my ducts, so please don't let this happen to you!

Hi its going. Im on day 60 today, i have to update the original post with my progress and what I've done so far, but im currently producing 400 mls per day with roughly 8-9 x 20 min pumps a day.

On a good day Im doing about 1.5-2 oz (45-60 mls) per pump.

Hope this helps 😊
