You go all over the internet and forums for mommies. You joined several Facebook groups of breastfeeding moms. <\/p>\n
You bought several milk pumps<\/a> in the hope to find the perfect one that can suck more milk out of you. <\/p>\n You watch your nipples like a hawk when using the pump, and when only a drop or two of milk come out from your breast to the bottle, you wonder what goes wrong. <\/p>\n All the books you’ve read said that all moms should always have enough milk to provide to their babies<\/a>. Then what’s really wrong here? <\/p>\n Your baby is hungry. His mouth opens up and directs toward your nipples every time you carry him, it seems that he never gets full. As the should-be only source of his nutrition, you feel so damn guilty thinking it’s your fault that your baby doesn’t get to eat full. <\/p>\n And then the pain from the clogged milk ducts<\/a> drives you crazy. How in the hell does someone who doesn’t produce enough milk for her baby get clogged milk ducts<\/a> so damn often? <\/p>\n You even purchased many products that are supposed to help you produce more milk for your little one. <\/p>\n But nothing helped. <\/p>\n Feeling hopeless, you bought the formula with tears while thinking of giving up on breastfeeding for good. <\/p>\n I feel you. Because I\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve tried all the methods possible in the hope to increase my milk supply so that I can go breastfeeding 100% for my little boy. <\/p>\n And here are some tips that I\u2019ve found along the journey to find the answer on how to make more breast milk fast.<\/p>\n You are producing milk, which means you need to be hydrated all the time, enough for your own body and some extra to go to the milk. <\/p>\n Try to drink warm water or sweetened drink as those drinks can be absorbed into your body faster. <\/p>\n However, stay away from soft drinks because they usually contain lots of empty calories, which means they can make you gain weight without providing quality nutrition. <\/p>\n I recommend making drinks from nuts, like cashew, sesame, corn, rice, etc with a little bit of sugar. You can also drink fresh milk, it is also a great drink for breastfeeding mommies. These drinks can increase breast milk fast, generally after a few minutes.<\/p>\n Generally speaking, you should drink around 4 litres of water and juice, more if you are heavy. <\/p>\n Eat a variety of food so that you can get all kinds of nutrition and vitamin and give it to your little one. However, stay away from some kinds of herbs or veggies, because the common norms believe that those herbs and veggies can result in low milk supply or giving your baby a tummy ache. <\/p>\n Those herbs and veggies are <\/p>\n All new mommies don’t sleep enough. We stay up at night every few hours to feed our babies, change the diapers, or check our babies breath and all. The same thing at day time, with some extra work from house chores to cooking. <\/p>\n I was in the chaos too. Actually I must say, my husband and I were in the chaos. <\/p>\n However, due to my son’s titled neck, that added at least 3 hours working at night for me. Breastfeeding, then breast pumping, then working out<\/a> for my son. Every night was too short for me to recover. <\/p>\n If you can, sleep as much as you can. Infants often fall asleep while drinking milk. You can learn how to feed him while laying down, so that you can sleep with him or at least get a little rest<\/a>. <\/p>\n Cuddling and hugging your baby while nursing is a great way to stimulate your brain to produce more milk (yes, it’s in the brain). But you can add a little hit to the combo my massaging your nipples while nursing and pumping to get milk fast. <\/p>\n Not all kinds of massage are equal. When massaging, don’t try to pinch your nipples or hurt yourself even more. There is an effective and yet<\/a> very simple way to massage your breasts. <\/p>\n Using your thumb or palm to touch your nipples. While still keeping the same area between the nipples and your hands, move your nipples around in a circle. Make sure you don’t rub your nipples. Your nipples need to be rolled and touch the skin on your breasts while rolling. <\/p>\n It often takes less than 1 minute to get your milk comes out if you massage it right. <\/p>\n I know sometimes you just want a little bit of “me time”. And pumping time seems to be the perfect time for it. You can get to watch TV, listen to music and read a book while still doing a mom’s job. <\/p>\n However, research has shown that staying close to your baby will stimulate your brain and make you produce more milk. <\/p>\n If for some reasons your baby is not around you while pumping, replace that with looking at pictures or videos of him. I’m sure you’ve got plenty of them!<\/p>\n There are around 10 million things to think about when you have a baby. And you seem to know next to nothing. <\/p>\n But I can assure you. No one knows everything. Reading does help a lot, but your baby is a person, he is not a robot who comes from a book or represents someone else’s experience with their baby.<\/p>\n Every baby is different and unique. Things that work for other babies might never work for your baby. And it’s OK. <\/p>\n You don’t know anything, you are learning every day and it’s OK too. <\/p>\n I want you mama to relax a little bit and knowing everything is going to be alright. <\/p>\n Trust your instinct. You are the perfect mom for your baby, nobody else can do it. <\/p>\n Formula is out there, available when you need it. Of course breast milk is the best for baby’s development but formula is better than letting your baby hungry. <\/a><\/p>\nDrink a lot of water – warm water and sweetened liquid if possible<\/h2>\n
Eat healthily – you need to produce quality milk<\/h2>\n
Sleep a lot – the luxury I didn\u2019t have which was the main reason why I didn\u2019t have enough milk for my son<\/h2>\n
Massage your nipples while pumping and nursing<\/h2>\n
Stay close to your baby while pumping <\/h2>\n
Relax <\/h2>\n
Go for formula if needed – don\u2019t stress yourself out<\/h2>\n
