How can I get my milk to come back in?

Lots of fluids to drink, skin to skin contact, good calories when you eat and SLEEP! Believe it or not sleep is so important…your body cannot spend energy it doesn’t have. I also had great success by pumping at every few hours so that I would make more milk than was really consumed…had to start freezing it almost right away

Keep taking or restart your prenatal vitamins. I had some left over years after I stopped nursing. Decided I’d take them again as a vitamin because I felt so great when I had first taken them. My milk came right back in! Silly me!

Rest as much as possible and eat well

The more you pump/breastfeed the more milk you will make. You can even try taking supplements that help with milk supply like fenugreek…etc. If you have a IBCLC or CLC in your area they can help a great deal. I do have videos on youtube that I have made on increasing your milk supply. Feel free to check those out.

Forty years ago we were taught glass of while feeding baby and a glass of milk afterwards. Start with left breast next feeding start right breast

Drink tons of water… And pump as often as possible… The more you do the more it will flow…

My doc gave me a script after I talked to my laction lady at my hospital

I drink a tea called mothers milk. Drink lots of water and try super pumping sessions. It always helps me when i am starting to produce less

Try to remember that it is a supply and demand situation… Stay hydrated and pump in between nursing to make sure that your production stays up.

Are you drinking lots of water and certain drinks like poweraid and gate -ro - raid

Don’t stress don’t worry about mommy shaming u can supplement with formula or just use formula ur baby will grow up fine.

Drink a beer. This is what they did in the (old) days. And don’t stress, just let the baby nurse.

Drink lots of water and nurse more frequently
