I'm new to TH-cam, it would mean the world to me if you subscribed 💫
“If I can make it to tomorrow we will make it to tomorrow if not we are going to formula” that’s me right now 😩😩😩😩 he’s close to 4 months ! But I will follow all of these tips and see if anything changes
Aw! No stress mama❤️ 4 months is amazing and that 3 month mark is a MAJOR milestone. This is probably one of the hardest times to produce because he’s needing a lot of milk and not eating food yet. There is nothing wrong with subbing formula, it was such a weight lifted off my shoulders ❤️ when I started to sub a bit.
Things that have helped me
Oatmeal every morning
Drinking water all day and night
Electrolytes (coconut water, Gatorade, body armor, liquid iv)
Garlic! I add lots of garlic cloves when I’m having pasta, but you can add it to any meal that you’re having
I have lactation supplements that really worked for me as well. Brand is Mother love more milk moringa. Currently taking them and I definitely notice the difference.
Pump as often as I can. If I accidentally forget to wake up at night and I miss a session or 2 then I will try to make up for it sometime in the day. I will power pump or do my modified version where I will pump every hr for at least 10-15 mins but no more than 20. I usually only do 10-15. Let’s say I pump at 7:05, I will pump for 15 mins then at 8:05 I will pump 15 minutes and at 9:05 I will pump 10 mins. I always try to make up for my missed sessions
I also eat a lot! I’ve probably gained weight, idk! But if I want food I will eat. I may also eat unhealthy foods sometimes which I don’t recommend but remember to eat! I know sometimes we are so busy we forget to even eat. I noticed a drastic decrease in supply when I was too busy to eat. So now I make it a priority.
Garlic! Wow who would have thought? I love garlic and it’s so good for immunity. That does make sense. Thank you!!
6 months in now as exclusive pumpers
-pump 30+minutes each pump
-use manual pump and hold until milk stream stops and sgain and again
-pump until empty, not by time
-massage while pumping
-power pump once a day
Meri didi ka breast milk increase huwa mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule liya to,hmne to sirf eske bare me suna lekin aaj dekh bhi liya ki sahi me usefull hai$-&:
How many times do you pump a day?
I mean how many hours apart?
This video is awesome! I appreciate all of your advice and love your laid back, relaxed, “fed is best” attitude 💕
Thank you for being soo real in this video, I feel encouraged after supplementing for some 5 weeks and now since my milk is building up again I’m willing to pumping regularly
I love your channel and videos! I think you have tons of new subs in your future!
Super realistic input and tips for increasing milk supply and being an exclusively pumping mom… Definitely gotta start these morning smoothies.. thanks for the idea…quick breakfast idea!! I was doing good with hydration that first week during recovery but after that it’s easier to slack on hydration since I was feeling more “recovered” … I quite drinking so much water…. Definitely gotta get on that train again! I love how you really talked about the stress factor because the hormonal shift and stress factor is definitely realistic and hits hard!!
You MUST ask for help/support when you realize your becoming stressed ❤️ and having a can of formula in the house is a GREAT idea for mental relief just in case! Thanks so much! Looking forward to checking out more of your videos for helpful mom tips/tricks/what works for you!
Meri saheli ne bhi use kiya hai ye mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule💊ese uska breast milk jaldi badh gya hai ese usko koi side effects nhi huaa our ayurvedic hai, usko delivery ke baad milk nhi aaya tha to usne yhi use kiya mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule Amazon se oder kiya, sahi me best hai ye product, 👍x}
Just started exclusive pumping. thanks for the video mama!
Thanks Bryannah, you really made breastfeeding a little more realistic and that its so helpful with your encouragement, I have a newborn at the moment but my milk is still low in general. I'm at 7 weeks now and hope that it will continue to increase for me
Yes that’s how it is for me 6 weeks an praying for increasing my milk
is not that is low, babies do not need liters and liters at first, also if u r not using pump correctly, you wont get all the milk out
I love coconut water with ocean water cranberry juice but
One thing I did learn
As I have been taking classes to be a lactation counselor is that drinking to much water actually waters down your hormones so I personally shoot for my daily water intake that my body needs but also adding in enough electrolytes. You will notice a difference
Super helpful! I’m a month into EPing, and I do most of these, but great reminders and great encouragement!
Aw thanks girl! Yea I’m not big into all the extra. For me, simple is best. EP is hard enough
Thank you for the tips! New mom here 🙋🏻♀️
Just want to say I love your videos on pumping! very relatable! :)
Love the video... I am mom of 3 my first was a girl and breastfeeding didn’t work out, my second was a boy and I exclusively pumped for him... I built a milk stash until I sold my milk to a mom who couldn’t product milk anymore due to medical reason... after 1 year I stopped and he feed on formula milk... now I have my 3rd child which is a boy and he is exclusively breastfeed... I am just trying to keep pumping milk for a milk stack so he can have milk until 2 1/2 or 3 years old :) these tips comes in handy cx thank you!
hey shundine! thanks so much for being here and watching - our stories are so similar. wow you are so impressive with all you have done!
I went to Walmart once and I didn't think I would leak and a baby was in line ahead of us and I could feel milk just pouring out. The cashier smiled and said that she has been there. I wasn't as embarrassed because I knew I wasn't the only one that has ever happened to.
I’ve been there too! At work I used to carry a scarf in my car in case I had a student come in with a baby which would happen all the time in my last job
New subscriber!! Just found your channel & I love! I have a 7 month old & am trying to increase my milk supply to keep on nursing. I feel you about the water haha I have glasses everywhere too!! Thank you for these tips, excited to watch more of your video topics💕🙂
Mariah Kristine Realtor hey girlfriend! You are so welcome. I am so happy you stopped by! The water glasses in every room is so real rn as I stare at my side table with 5 glasses lol all need to be put in the sink lol
you can try an herbal formula "healthy nursing tea" to increase your milk supply to a great extent. this tea is a blend of organic herbs that helps to maintain a healthy amount of milk production.
@@karenjay250 GREAT REC! thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the tips. I have been breastfeeding for 5 and a half months. Now my little one is refusing the breast and has lost weight. Definitely considering exclusively pumping as our journey has not been an easy one. Going to give these tips a go for sure.
@@Jillianrc get your baby's mouth checked. She might be tongue or lip tied
Thank you for all the good tips I’m going to need it I want to breast feed as much as I can this time around
Thanks girl! The biggest thing is to not to stress
Oat milk and oatmeal ❤ I put oat milk creamer in my coffee and tea, eat oatmeal for breakfast or a snack and randomly drink oat milk throughout the day
Yes! I agree with this! Thank you for sharing this super easy tip. May not work for everyone but worked for me with my 3rd!
Your smoothie is like mine! I also add hemp seeds
Thanks for making a video like this. EP is hard. One day at a time
Thank you for being here Ana! Absolutely! One day at a time!
Your video was soothing! :]
Ahh I exclusively pumped too, hard but so rewarding 💖! I just posted my advice video too. Wished I had watched one before I had my baby though haha xx
Helen Grace hey Helen! Nice to meet a fellow pumping mama. Hard work for sure but whatever makes me feel good about momming - that’s what I do! I need to check out your video too
Meri didi ka breast milk increase huwa mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule liya to,hmne to sirf eske bare me suna lekin aaj dekh bhi liya ki sahi me usefull hai❤
Thank you ❤
I started pumping 3 weeks after I gave birth, I haven’t been able to produce more than an once. I don’t have a set schedule because I also have a toddler and don’t have time. I purchased a lactation supplement. But it’s stressful. The problem maybe lack of water as well.
It is stressful mama! Formula is a wonderful option❤️ I formula feed my 10 month old now. It’s incredibly hard to pump with a baby and a toddler. I have a 2 year old and a baby too
I’m having the same as well. I can only get one ounce total. No matter how close the pump sessions are to each other.
Thanks for the tips! Will definitely use them!!
Also, Does she have your eye color?
Thank you!
This was so helpful!! What made you decide to exclusively pump? Did your babies have a hard time latching? Or it was just a personal preference?
Need answer to that too. I have a 7 week preemie, not latching so exclusively pumping. Recently I feel I'm not quite meeting the demand and supply sync. I do have frozen stash from early weeks when her demand was less but I want to increase my current supply.
What pump do you recommend? Have you used the Elvie?
Muze delivery ke bad se hi dudh kam tha,ak mahine baad dudh ana lagbhag band hi ho gaya tha, lekin mamicon syrup suru karne ke bad 15 dino me hi kafi dudha ana suru ho gaya, mamicon syrup best hai dudh badhane k liye, Amazon pe milta hai$
Is it true that u make less milk if u r sick? I have a very bad flu but I m still taking steady died and drinking a lot of water but I can feel a dip in my milk supply.

Hi! I went thru ur video. Please tell me if I'm EPing and have seen a drop in my milk supply then how long should each of my pump session be? I mean for how long should i pump each time?
Meri saheli ne bhi use kiya hai ye mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule💊ese uska breast milk jaldi badh gya hai ese usko koi side effects nhi huaa our ayurvedic hai, usko delivery ke baad milk nhi aaya tha to usne yhi use kiya mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule Amazon se oder kiya, sahi me best hai ye product, 👍x×{
Yea I wanna know that too. How many sessions a day and how long each session should be.
I have been EPing for my 7 week old preemie baby, she won't latch. So I am pumping every 2 to 3 hours from day 1. In the initial weeks I was making a lot, more then her requirement so I built up a frozen stash. But recently I feel there's a drop in my supply and also her demand has increased so I'm not quite able to meet that. Using the frozen packs in between but I'm worried I might have to shift to formula 😢
I got lucky with limiting caffeine, I got so sick from it during pregnancy and drinking it with breastfeeding it made my baby gassy 🤷🏼♀️
Hi im a FTM; Nyla, my baby girl, was born last monday (4/24!) and ive not been able to bf since she is in the NICU...ive been pumping as much as possible, every 3 hrs about, but im only making MAYBE 2-3 oz a DAY so far & wondering should i be worried? Im manually pumping with a medela while waiting on my electric pump. I was told to sleep thru the night and pump when i wake.. Should i stop that and wake to pump? Its only my baby's 7th day out, & she came out at 37 weeks
How did your milk journey go? I hope your little girl is doing well!
I love your cool video.💕
Thanks, My buddy. "Have a good day~💛"
thanks friend!
What? I had my first child. He's 27 years old now. He had problems latching on so I had to pump and then I had to do the enfamil formula too and he was so colically all the time. So 3 months I had to put a little bit of cereal in his enfamil formula just to get him to sleep. The doctor did tell me it was okay to do that. It seems like with the enfamil formula he it was better for him and it made him sleep more. My second child I breastfed him all the way until he was 12 months old. One years old he got on regular milk. I'm not the one to breastfeed two and three and four or five years old and that's just crazy to me it just doesn't make sense. But anyway now this is my third child. My second one is 19 years old and now this is my third child. My milk have not came in at all. Haven't seen that 5 months 6 months and now I'm going on 7 months. Nothing so I don't know if this is a universe telling me that I'm not going to be able to breastfeed or what is going on. I don't know but I have cases and cases of formula. Just waiting
Hey there! How many oz did your baby girl drink 4+ months old? Stressing about if my daughter is taking in enough. Thank you 😊
Meri didi ka breast milk increase huwa mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule liya to,hmne to sirf eske bare me suna lekin aaj dekh bhi liya ki sahi me usefull hai🥰💯
I am getting 1 oz and then nothing for like half a day. Should I continue to pump every two hours even if I’m not getting anything?
it should* be a supply and demand type of process but every body is so different. Are you breastfeeding and then pumping? Have you spoke with a lactation consultant or doctor? I will definitely say pumping every two hours is HARD and think your mental health means so much more than breastfeeding because formula is a miracle
Saritah Well, if you are leaving a comment such as this, then please thank your lucky stars that you don’t need to rely on formula. Some of us cannot produce any, or enough, milk. For me, it ultimately meant feeding my baby or not. There’s enough shaming out there for women who lose sleep and feel awful that we cannot give our babies our milk. We don’t need a reminder that “breast is best”.
@@alyssawest2357 very very true
I had/have an amazing freezer stash… however I am finding that they are all smelling/tasting metallic like. I read it means your milk has high lipase if it smells & tastes that way. I tasted it and I was so grossed out that I didn’t want my baby drinking it so I’m throwing out all of my freezer stash. Anybody know how (if) I can prevent my milk from tasting bad? Has anybody else gone through this?
Yes I agree the taste is off. I don’t know how to prevent that. Hopefully someone will see this
I have seen some say that adding a small amount of vanilla may help it.
Some babies may be okay with the high lipase, if you’re comfortable I would try to donate before tossing.
Human Milk for Human Babies is a great group for donating, they typically have groups local as well.
I hope this helps!
When you got your monthly did you try supplements to help keep your supply stable?
Kyra Thompson I didn’t but that is a great suggestion! I need to try❤️ thank you!
@@BryannahKay I didn't use any either that's why I was asking you, Lol. I had the same problem during my monthly and I didn't know what to do, I almost gave up completely.
Kyra Thompson that was me the first time around too but with everything baby related, it’s a phase.
@@BryannahKay Thanks for the video
Exclusive pumpers are a different kind of breed of moms. Did it for 9 weeks and im ready to give up!!!
9 weeks is amazing! Around that time period I’m feeling over it too. I usually pick from the freezer stash a little bit around then. Right now it’s so hard bc of the formula shortage. I’m going through it too. Baby 3 is 9 months and idk new video coming soon
I heard if you drink more than enough water it can actually make supply worse is that true?
Water is great for milk supply, it will not deplete it
I have been told that alcohol free beer increases milk supply... to be given a try!
I heard barley helps with production but there are things more safer and effective. an herbal formula "healthy nursing tea" by secretsoftea.com is prepared with organic herbs for moms trying to increase breast milk supply. have a look into it too.
sll
Real video start from 2:45
