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
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.
