So I’ve only been pumping 1-2 ounces and 3 ounces when I’m engorged, what can I do to up my supply cuz my baby’s doctor wants him to eat more but I’m not producing enough, idk what to do, I’m thinking about stopping breastfeeding and just doing formula, but idk I know breast milk is better for babies but I’m just not producing enough for him. What should I do

Try lactation cookies Idk how often you pump but try pumping both sides every 2 hours Pump while he eats that can help And if it's too stressful or if you feel like it you can pump or breastfeed sometimes and do formula other times Yes breastmilk is more healthy but if it's too stressful there's other things to do so that you guys aren't stressed and he gets fed

What do y’all use for breast formula if your babies breast fed? I’ve tried similac but it made him constipated.

I think I’m done trying to “breast feed” (pump and bottle feed) she seems to have a better time on formula than drinking my breast milk…

mine couldn't latch. She still can't latch without my nipple shield. I'm exhausted and sleep deprived too. I'm over the 'exclusively breastfeeding' thing. Pumping and formula are working well.

It's okay, a fed baby is best no matter what, always remember "formula or breast, fed is best" I was doing both && for me breast feeding is very stressful && can take a toll on your mental, it was messing with mines so I mainly formula feed now ❤️

I’m so sad that I don’t produce more than 2oz of breast milk. Mind you I tried pumping, hand express, drinking lactation tea, and nothing.. my baby seems to be losing interest in breastfeeding. I tried my best, Formula it is😭😭💔

I feel the same way. I just keep pumping every few hrs. Because 2oz ain't cutting it. I alternate between formula and breast milk. I'm only 6 days postpartum though

That’s all I get is just a few ounces. That’s actually all u supposed to get bc when the baby sucks from they are just getting a small amount don’t get discouraged u are doing great an the more u pump the more u will start to produce 😊👍

Question for the moms: How long is a good amount of time to breastfeed, Cause I was thinking 6 months then Im done, All Organic Formula after that. I want to avoid my breast getting a sag as well since I have perky breast to begin with and also I feel like babies who were breastfeed for a long time Especially up to 2-3 years most likely be more prone to develop Spoiled or selfish traits as kids to adulthood growing up. Especially boys. Also As soon as he get teeth coming in, I was going to just pump and Bottle feed. My baby boy Drinks both Breast milk and Earth’s Best Organic Sensitive formula he is about to be #4months #earthsbest #milk #breastfeeding #feeding #3months #Breast #babyboy #formula

I think it just depends on your personal preference. It's my first baby but I don't believe that babies that are breastfed develop spoiled or selfish traits. It's all what works best for you & baby. I exclusively nurse & I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

My pediatrician suggested 2 years if I can do it. But even if you only breast fed for a day and you stoppes; you did what was right for you and your baby.

Any advice for breast feeding and boosting milk supply? I’ve been feeding my baby formula and my breast milk for now until I produce more. I produce about 2 ounces on each breast when I pump for 20 mins.

Drink lots of water especially while pumping or breastfeeding, the more you breastfeed the more you produce

I see a lot of mommies complaining about the formula and how it’s making their babies sick and they can’t find it. If you can please please please breast feed or pump your milk. I feel it’s the safest for the babies right now.
