Breast pumping tips
My breasts are full but when I’m pumping I’m getting minimal, where as before I’d be pumping at least 100ml+ in one session. Now I’m going for the same amount of time but hardly even getting to 60ml.
My midwife suggested power pumping and pumping in the night between the hours or 12 and 6, I have done both of these things and still hardly getting anything.
Any suggestions or tips on how to get more? I am starting to stress as I only really want my baby on breast milk and really trying to avoid formula but I’m struggling to keep up with demand of what she needs.

Try having fennel tea
@Katie Yeah I was the same it’s so annoying. I’ve been doing everything from making sure I stay hydrated, eating foods which help with milk supply, taking supplements and have now ordered special tea in hopes that helps! So strange must be a thing that just happens maybe our supply just drops for a little bit then comes back up?

I’m going through the exact same thing at the moment! I was leaking constantly and collecting a lot of milk for the past 3 weeks but now I’m struggling to express hardly anything whereas before I could just pump for 15 minutes and the pump would be full! I’m starting to stress as I worry he’s not getting as much milk either 😢
