When will my breast milk production increase?

I agree you need to talk to someone that can help with latching. Your child is old enough now. Pumping is good to stimulate production but baby is better. You should be putting baby to breast first and when you are done the pump to let your breast know they need to produce more. If you are seriously lacking milk there are some herbal things you can take like blessed thistle or see your doctor and get a prescription of Domperidone. I took that from about 6 months on as I just wasn't producing enough.

Relax, breastfeed often and seek some help if you need it. It is hard to stay focused and keeping your supply up when supplementing.

Just read your update. It is hard to tell what your supply is like when pumping. Pumping can only stimulate so much and not at all as effective as having baby to breast.

I think you should speak to someone from La Leche Leauge. Just because you have inverted nipples may prove more difficult but can be done with proper guidance. Help is out there you just have to find the right person.

Here is some info that might help, I find Kellymom can be a great source of info. When in doubt google your issue and add kellymom to it ;)

I wish you lots of luck. It is sometimes hard but so worth it in the end :)

Pump / feed every 2 hours, go up to 3 hours at night. That is from start time to start time. You should be able to get in 10 - 12 pumps a day.

Do this for the next 3 weeks if possible. IF not , go to 3 hours during the day and up to 4 at night.

Bottles sounds fine in your case, you can do breastfeeding as well. Just keep trying and use playtex slow flow wide nipples. They are really helpful to prevent nipple confusion.

"Pumping several times a day" is likely not enough to establish good milk production. You really need to be doing it at LEAST 8 times a day, and aiming for up to 12. You can lessen the amount later.

By several times a day I'm worried your just doing it 3 or 4 times a day, kind of clusetered together, and that won't work. Not even close to ever working for anyone really. Not to get production started. You really need evenly spaced and aim for 8-12... 10 - 12 being ideal.

Hi, I desired to inform you approximately my enjoy with the CurvyBust cream. I'm 24 years ancient and I've spent ordinarily my entire lifestyles wishing I had rather better breasts. I'm as a rule a measurement A, I'd like to be a measurement B, peculiarly while I put on exact sorts of low reduce tops. I have a well determine, and I like what I have, however once in a while I could like a bit bit extra. Even if I had the cash, (which I do not since I am a university pupil with loans to repay), I could certainly not don't forget going beneath the knife simply to head up one million cup measurement. So that is been my hassle. I discovered approximately curvybust cream while I was once flipping by way of (Yahoo Answers). To be sincere with you, I'm now not the form of lady who could don't forget spending cash on a cream that guarantees to expand breast measurement. It simply turns out like an unattainable factor to assert. But there have been 3 explanations that I determined to head for it: one million) I contacted them through their internet site since I had a query approximately the cream being OK for touchy epidermis (which it's, since it's manufactured from average botanical components.) two) I was once particularly inspired by means of their buyer carrier and willingness to give an explanation for the whole lot to me. three) They supplied me a unfastened 12 day deliver without a duty, (I simply needed to pay the transport fees- I wasn't too pleased with that but it surely was once nonetheless valued at it to get the unfastened product). Well, it is honestly running! There is a visible change within the measurement of my breasts! It's best been 10 days, and so they say that the actual last outcome may not seem till approximately the four-6 month period of time, however founded on what I can see, (and what my boyfriend can feel�) there may be certainly a change. My breasts are status out extra, and they're fuller and rounder. Sometimes I am capable to head out with out a bra, now I cannot. And I have a sense that I would ought to honestly purchase new bras if the development maintains. I'm watching ahead to seeing how the following month is going. There would honestly be a measurement B in my long run! Woohoo!

Yes, you need to get breast feeding well established before you return to work.

Try this. Take two days where you can have friends or relatives help you - spend two days resting, in bed if you can, and breast-feed your baby as often and for as long as you can. Drink plenty, sleep as much as you can - you need to try to be well rested and nursing as often as possible. The more your baby sucks and stimulates your breasts, the more milk you will produce.

Have someone else do the cooking & cleaning, someone else can do the shopping and laundry - take two full days to just rest, drink lots of liquids and feed your baby as often as she will eat. Pump after each feed, this way your breasts will produce more (they will think your baby is still drinking).

Good Luck!

EDIT: Sometimes small babies can't latch on well because the breast is too full of milk, so you could try expressing a little milk from the breast BEFORE you put the baby on there, it will make it a little easier for her to latch on.

Honestly, pumping will never be as good as suckling from the baby. Try to get her to latch now that's getting older. Go see a lactation specialist.
