Hetal my baby is 3months, my baby apetite is higher says my ped and so i am not able to produce as per his requirement.i used to pump every 3hours but still i am not able to produce more than 2oz.But in morning time when i pump i get around 5oz from both sides.why so much difference ?
is it okay? should i pump more or less.is this difference normal ?
i have same problem of break leaks. i am wearing breast pads but sometimes it is very uncomfortable.Like you said in nandini post, i think i need to change my bra size.i will try that option.
i wanted to know if i can increase my milk supply.is it possible now when my baby is already 3months ? or it will be too late for me to try.
your replies to other members solved my queries so a big thank you.
Regards,
Hetal replied. in first part of the day, when you are gettng good milk supply, it means you had a good sound sleep and that your body was relaxed thru out the night,,with adequate sleep.
as the day goes on,,you work,you might be cooking and it seems thru out the day you are not resting yourself whenever your baby sleeps,,which is affctng your milk supply. so if relaxing your body is the only thing that we can right now see,,practice that..take a nap with your baby whenever you bf,,or just before pumping time,,listen to some relaxing music, your fav music or something that helps you get out of your chores for a couple mins..or just leave everything and sit for a while watch tv,or play with your baby..drink a glass of cool water, it relaxes your mind..once done, pump the milk,,see if that works for you.
also refer to my other reply to nandini,,about pumping and breastfeeding...see if that gives you some idea...
take 1 good nap in noon if your baby sleeps during that time,,or if you have someone to take care of your baby and you can rest..it will help you continue with good supply.
there is never so late to produce good,what matters is your willingnes to do it, your body nature and as to how your body responds to it,,and below are some links/tips,,see if that helps you continue good bm.
