Re: First time with low milk supply
Quote:
She is having several wet diapers, but when I feed her and she still acts hungry, then I give her a bottle and she guzzles it down (6 oz) so I know she is still hungry. She doesn't like to nurse unless my boobs are fuller. So, she just pops on and off and gets frustrated. I will try the blessed thistle and the alfalfa, thanks! Advertisement

Re: First time with low milk supply

When you are supplementing with the 6 oz bottle for a feeding, are you pumping at that time? And if you are giving 6 oz, you really need to be pumping at least that much during that day to maintain your supply. It sounds like you are pumping twice after feedings so are you getting about 3 oz per pumping and just combining those for the 6 oz feeding later? That article you posted on bottle feeding is excellent. Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you are having success with that. Best wishes! ![]()

![]() I NEVER worried about supply with my son, and until dd showed slow/lack of weight gain a few months ago, I didn't worry with her either. She is healthy, but small. She is not losing weight, just gaining slowly (originally in the 80% now in the 30%) I am going to take the blessed thistle and alfalfa and try pumping after every feeding. I am also thinking about taking away the bottle to see if I can get her to nurse more.
