Following for advice as well
I drank 1 body armor a day when I was newly postpartum to establish a milk supply and I was a little but if an overproducer so that’s worth a try. Since then if I ever notice a decrease I make peanut butter oat chocolate chip cookies and add 3 tbsp of flax seeds for A yummy protein treat! I normally eat like 2-3 a day 😅 and notice an increase within a couple days lol. Other than that just try to stay consistent with pumping. I know it’s hard but if you’re in a relationship maybe have them wash them for you so pumping doesn’t seem so laborious, that’s what we do. Also, do your own research but I saw on TikTok people re use their pumps for 24 hours as long as you refrigerate in between uses so that way you’re not constantly having to wash. I do this too lol and just wash every night and my babies been totally fine. Hope this helps!
I had a decrease in supply when I was stressed. I started taking legendary milk liquid gold supplements, drinking a lot of water or even body armor, eating more protein. I also started to power pump (20min ON 10min OFF 10 min ON) after 3-4 consistent days of power pumping once at night I saw an increase in my supply. I only pump once overnight and have not seen a dip. I used to pump consistently every 3 hours and breastfed for the first 16weeks but more recently have been inconsistent with pumping. so in my case I think doing these things helped keep my supply. Hope it helps!
Also forgot to mention during the day I pump whenever I can so it varies sometimes every 3.5-6hrs
sunflower lecithin pills helped Mexican hot chocolate with either oat or coconut milk, avocados, eggs, salmon, brewers yeast, seeds, Chia seeds, and I would chug, coconut water, coconut anything those things help the ton, but if you choose to only do two things, I would do brewers yeast and fatty foods
You might consider checking your thyroid function. My milk supply decreased suddenly around 3.5 months… later, I found I had postpartum thyroiditis (low thyroid), which can decrease your supply.
I also recommend moringa supplement and Legendairy milk supplements. The overnight pumps are huge...try to pump between 2-5a. Lots of water and trying no to stress are actually pretty huge. Has your period come back? That will also temporarily lower milk (usually it's right around your period, but for some women it's at a different part of the cycle so try to track that)
I’ve been having the same issue. I started taking moringa a few weeks ago and I saw a little bit of an increase. I keep seeing moms taking colostrum so I finally got that today in hopes of that giving me my oversupply back. Only other thing I would suggest is electrolytes. I like liquid ivs and body armors to keep my hydration up apart from just water.
