Hi mummies, I am a new mum to an 11weeks boyboy.
I have been trying to increase my milk supply but so far I am only able to pump 20-30ml. On lucky days maybe I get 40ml. I am doing mixed feeding as milk supply not enough. Usually latch on in the day, then bottle feed. Night time my hubby help bottle feed.
Tried several methods but rather frustrated coz still hope to be able to give my boy more BM.
1) took fenugreek 3tablets 3 times a day
2) drank groundnuts soup, papaya soup, cook sesame with rice, etc
3) eat oats and drink milo, try to drink lot of water
4) took gynae prescribed domperidone
5) tried to pump and latch every 3-5hourly but missed out one session at night coz really tired - tried for few days but supply decrease to 15ml per session instead! So in the end skipped the night pump and yield 20-30ml in the morning pump. Weird!
Really dunno what to do coz now my boy drink 120-150ml but my BM never seem to be able to catch up!
Any other methods to help increase BM fast? Goin back to work soon... Feel kinda paiseh to pump at work for only 20-30ml.
