How to increase milk supply

[cherryame]

Hi mummies.. im a First time mum with a 6 day old baby girl. I only got my colostrum on day 4 and until now my supply is only about 5ml for both combined sides each time I pump. I pump every 3 hours.

Currently I only let my baby latch about 1 feed per day, 20 mins each side then I supplement with formula as my supply is really not sufficient.

How can I increase my milk supply quickly so I can give her what she needs? I just started fenugeek today.

Thank you in advance!!

Increase the latch to 2 then to 3, demand more supply more. Fenugreek helps but will thin the milk means baby might want to latch on more often... can try lactation cookies, Milo nutri G coz it contain wheat, it helps for me... or anything with wheat. In general latch more often.

Latch more, drink something warm before you latch or pump... it helps.

Hi, what I did was eat more, drink more soup, drink DOM, pump frequently (every two hours without fail including midnight)..

It’s a tough journey but worth it... jiayou

Hi there, you could consider visiting a TCM doctor. Low milk supply could be due to a variety of problems so there’s no one single treatment for it.
I’ve written something about it on my blog, go take a look!

Hi, try to let your baby latch more or pump out milk regularly to stimulate your breasts produce more milk.
Besides, drinking enough liquid is also really important, you can drink some milk-boosting soups such as black bean water, papaya soup, fish soup and so on. If you have no time to prepare soups, you can just drink chicken essence with vaccaria seed (this Chinese herb is especially for increasing milk supply) or vaccaria seed capsule. These soups work wonder on me and I hope the info is useful for you! Jia you, mommy!
