Needing more milk

Heidi~Ruth

Ok so my baby is 3 months and she gets a bottle of breastmilk a day sometimes. We had to switch to soy because of some stomach issues but come to find out it wasn't me that was the problem it was the formula that I was told to supplement with. I hardly get anything when I pump is it too late for me?? I've tried pumping more and I've tried the lactation tea only to come up short. Please help!!! Oh and my main reason for asking this is because we live overseas right now and we will be flying internationally in a few months to visit the States and I want her to have as many anitbodies as she can for the trip that's why I haven't given up yet!!

First of all kellymom and la leche league email question service should be your best freids thru this How many ties a day are you pumping? Are you pumping on a schedule same tie every day? Are you drinking the tea and taking the supplements and eating the oatmeal? Would you conier taking domperidone or eglantine if other things don't work? I had major supply issues with my first but this time right from the start I did tons of skin to skin (I carried him in a sling with no shirt on me and only a diaper on him) I assumed I had nothing to do but breasted him and the rest of my life came second (and I made this work while taking care of a mildY autistic 3 yr old so I know it is tough). I learned to nurse in a sling wle I made big brother's meals and read him books and took him to the park etc. I seriously let that baby nurse ad comfort suck all he wanted all the time and I have a great supply. I do have sow things I want to change about it but all in all it is great. There may be ways you can pump like 5 on 5 off for 20 minutes or other routes to help. If you are still lactating the you have a great chance of getting a real supply goig and giving your dd all bm if that is what you want.
