Breast feeding/milk supply

is there anything I can do currently at 36W to increase the supply when it comes in? I tried BF with my first but she could never latch and we never got a pump but this time I'm on top of things and have a pump and everything ready just in case! Any advice helps

    I would suggest working with a LC while in the hospital. I had them one in during multiple feelings because I had difficulty establishing a latch. Also take advantage of any support groups for BFing. I have found them to be helpful. It doesn't necessarily increase supply, but it does help increase success with BFing. Good luck!

    From Naturally Healthy Babies and Children by Dr. Aviva Jill Romm. Highly recommend this as a handbook for herbal and home remedies to common minor issues.

    Just keep breastfeeding. If the baby doesn't have tongue tie or other issue than establishing a latch should be able to happen and a LC or experienced mid wife could help you there. Try pumping in the early days as well, some women's BM takes longer to come in. Also, you could try using a BF pillow I highly recommend MyBRESTFRIEND it really helped me keep baby at the right level and helped me stay relaxed. Not cheap at about $80 but worth it especially if you have a c section.
