Hello everyone my name is Destinee and I'm a mom of two beautiful baby girls. My oldest is 5 and my second is 2 months. I pump and nurse mostly nurse. Right now I'm having issues with my milk supply. I'm seeing a decrease in my milk supply, and it's got to the point where I am using formula to supplement. The formula is making my baby's tummy hurt, so is there anything that I could do to bring my milk production back up? I drink around 100oz of water every day I eat about 3 times a day and snack throughout. I also take supplements, "Legendary Milk Pump princess" and my own placenta. If you could please help with any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group. I have a 3 month old--I breastfeed and pump--heading back to work next month. I just have REALLY painful/sore nipples and breast! I thought by now it would be better. But I feel like I need to pump or nurse every 3 hours, sometimes sooner. And my son doesn't empty me so I pump after breastfeeding many time. I pump about 5-6 oz per side when I'm really full. My breasts are just large, sore, nipples feel super sensitive and painful. I've tried ice, Frida mom cooling silicone patches, literally everything. Anything work well for someone with the same issue?

You ladies are so amazing thank you so much!! I’ll figure out how to schedule a meeting with dr. Diana asap.
My baby girl is 5 weeks old and this morning I pumped 3.5oz on one side. I was so excited to see that amount. 🍼🍼🍼 Bring able to pump milk for her really fullfills me.
Hi all! I had a question if your flange is dripping milk after a pump session, but you're still catching a lot in the bottle, would the flange be too small or too big? It doesn't irritate nipples at all or they don't feel sore. I am using a Medela pump in style.

If the milk is dripping forward towards the bottle then it could mean your membrane need to be changed as it may not be operating effectively. If it is pooling under the bottom of the nipple and drips out the back is the flange onto your body then it may mean flange is too big.

Nursing creates a just enough supply at best for your baby. If you need to increase supply outside of nursing then best to get a plan to add pumping to your nursing journey. 🤎 Please be careful with herbals and placenta pills. They can have the opposite decrease supply depending on the person.
