Breastfeeding

Howww can I get more milk??

I was induced a month early, and my milk supply hasn't been great at all. Even at the hospital they had to supplement with formula. She is not even very into bfing right now, because she doesnt get that much, so I have started pumping... Regardless of if I pump 4 to 5 times a day I still only get 1-2 ozs. Is there anything else I can do to have it increase???

    As hard as it is, you really shoudl be pumping every 2-3 hours (3 at MOST) around the clock right now to establish supply.  1-2 oz. isn't bad for a newborn.  They don't need much more than that right now.  GL!!

  • Agree with PP.  You need to be pumping way more than 4-5 times a day.  Is there any reason you're pumping so infrequently?  When I first started pumping, I was pumping every 2 hours.  It was a PITA but now I have an awesome supply and get 55-60 ounces per day pumping 7 times (I'm an EPer).
