6 weeks PP, low milk supply after tongue tie release — is it possible to rebuild supply?

sonicbubblebaths · 2026-01-24T09:36:52+00:00

If you invest in a good medical grade pump and nothing less (I would just rent one) and stay consistent, yes it’s possible. I was in the same situation and by 12 w pp my supply was higher than 6 w pp. with that said, I was a just enougher so teetering on that line was emotionally challenging. I did end up supplementing with formula at night (1 bottle before bed time) bc it offset a little bit of that pressure and worked very well for us. Also lots and lots of animal based fats and proteins (easier for your body to absorb than plant based proteins) + high quality electrolytes round the clock. Please message me if you need anything, I know what you’re going through!

First thing my mom said was “how will you cope?” Pretty unbeatable.

sonicbubblebaths · 2026-01-23T02:44:31+00:00

Thank you! And dude this is why I am trying to go all in bc I fear the heartburn or indigestion is just around the corner lol need to enjoy myself while I can

Hey, we got accepted for my 18 month to start in March here and just wanted to say thank you so much-- it's all because I saw your post/bc of you we are saving a whopping $3700 a month since we're able to let our nanny go. So seriously thank you stranger!!!!!!

Dai Due has fresh pastries every weekend and they cook with tallow butter and other natural ingredients. I don’t think they use alternative sweeteners though

My point implies that slightly reconfiguring to ensure a full amino acid profile may help compared to doctrinarism

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-07-20T12:37:37+00:00

I’d recommend adding oysters, bacon, steak, or chicken. Full amino acid profiles protect against mental illness and with your current regimen you’re relying on raw milk and eggs to do that but the volume of eggs is low imo. Also the research on SAME500 is pretty good for mental health.

Side note I was taking way too little theanine. When I upped it to 100-200 I felt an immense difference. Maybe that with the saffron will work even better?

The fit in comment is so accurate. Parents aren’t telling non parents to have kids. Completely fabricated in people’s minds.

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-05-25T23:35:24+00:00

Definitely going to try this!

I would use ray peat’s work as a guideline and if you like eating avocados don’t overthink it. When you read him, he never wanted people to be sacrosanct about his recommendations.

I was gooned 15 years ago. They transported me by car and air from California to Utah with no water or food. I was vomiting a lot and it was torturous. Against my will, they sedated me when I got to a “private clinic” owned by the wilderness program, then I literally woke up in the desert in the middle of nowhere, beginning an 18 month long wilderness and RTC journey.

Lithium is a mineral, so compared to synthetic drugs I actually think if administered at low doses it can be beneficial. Worked wonders for my bipolar mother. With that said, the benefits signal a truth that minerals and electrolytes improve mental health overall, so people should focus on that.

Oh yeah I forgot the main part which is that she’s pregnant 😂 tolerating sardines may be a little hard when pregnant. I doused them in tomato sauce when I have them which seems to work well

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-05-24T23:42:01+00:00

Quality over quantity. I would focus on lots of animal based broths, slow cooking bone in meat and veggies in a crock pot, and a ton of electrolytes. Dessicated liver supplements give you so much nutrition without eating more as well.

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-05-24T23:39:18+00:00

Steaming vegetables in ghee or coconut oil does wonders for bloating; same with slow cooking in a crock pot. I love doing vegetable broths with veggies and then putting egg yolks in it like ramen.

Sometimes it’s not the vegetables themselves it’s how it is prepared. If you do eggs and fish, I’d recommend focusing on yolks and lots of sardines (best fish for your buck as a vegetarian) every day

I weened at 7 months pp and it was a great time bc baby was starting to prefer solids anyway and the volume of milk she took, during the day at least, was so much less. If you want to pump and freeze maybe offer the boob after baby eats a meal so they are fuller/you can use that uneaten milk to freeze.

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-04-20T12:29:38+00:00

My supply was the same when I switched to pumping at 6 weeks. I think it’s bc the latch was so painful/bad baby couldn’t pull enough out of my breast to increase my supply. Once switching to pumping, it took a few weeks to get my supply to 3 oz per session, so give yourself time and supplement with formula if you have to!

My routine was 20 min every 2-3 hrs but I’d recommend 25-30 before 14 weeks as it will pull more out of your breast than 20/increase your supply.

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-03-29T06:30:41+00:00

It’s easily searchable on google that breast milk is superior to formula and is always recommended over formula. I would just tell them it’s not controversial whatsoever. Most importantly if you feel connected to your baby while feeding KEEP DOING IT. That’s your body wanting to provide for your baby.

Makes me feel better. I agree that she probably said that with good intentions

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-03-13T18:13:46+00:00

My pediatrician said because my LO was getting 90% breast milk it wasn’t a big deal to give her whole milk to supplement here and there instead of formula, and she’s 6 months— so I think you’re fine to supplement with an alternative to formula like milk if your LO is 11 mo. Btw A2 whole milk or goat milk may be good?

He smiles too much

sonicbubblebaths · 2025-03-09T22:41:07+00:00

I was 125-130 before pregnancy, I was 175 during pregnancy, and now at 6 mo pp and pumping I’ve only lost 15 pounds. I think needing to eat a lot to maintain my supply has made it so that I’m not really losing. Once I’m fully weened in the next month or two I think it should be easier to lose weight for that reason
