The Dangers of Saying:
“Eat More, Drink More, Pump More, Sleep More, Stress Less”
Have you heard:
-I ate ______ and it increased my milk supply.
-I drank ______ and it increased my milk supply.
-I power pumped or pumped every 2 hours and it increased my milk supply.
-I sleep “more” now and it increased my milk supply.
-I stress “less” and it increased my milk supply.
When I’m reality, someone could be:
-Using the wrong pump
-Using the wrong flange
-Using wrong pumping products
-On the wrong schedule
-Having nipple pain/soreness/trauma/damage
-Using herbal supplements
-Experiencing clogs
-Experiencing mastitis
-Had breast surgery
-Have an underlying condition
