i feel very sad i have low milk supply and i tried every thing except sleeping because i can t she keep me up all night and all day and i wanted to breastfeed so bad and i have no one to help me so that i can sleep during the day i gesse i have no option but doing formula i feel very bad can any one tell me what to do ?
Another physiological issue a lot of people don't know about is Breast Hypoplasia. Sometimes women in puberty do not develop sufficient milk glands and are not able to produce enough when the baby is born. I suspect I may be one of those people. No matter how hard I tried the most I ever pumped in one day was 14 oz. There are also other characteristics of those who have this.
@ifautumnends ( guess I should add that I was unable to nurse exclusively because of my 5 week early little one delivered via csection due to HELLP syndrome). This also might have been a reason. Still here after 6 months pumping though.
alright... thanks for the good advice! but your video is annoying as hell... stick to giving the information you want people to know about, not the crap that you watch on your tv or that your couch is there of keep on playing with your hair as if trying to look sexy... it's pathetic... oh and one more thing: your place sucks!!!! i mean, what the hell is that on your wall???? some kind of ugly billboard above your tv in your living room???? pls get help
You are right about the calories. I have a low supply right now due to the fact that I just have had NO appetite since giving birth. Nothing tastes good. I am now making an effort to eat enough. I am basically forcing it down, but my supply is coming back---thank heavens. I wasn't trying to diet, I just couldn't stomach (pardon the pun) anything. It's worth it! Thank you! Great video. Great advice. Good inspiration.
@jacqi296 I am with you on this one. My son was 4 days old when I noticed that I had NO appetite at all, I just wanted to sleep and force myself to eat. He will be 3 weeks old this sunday but I noticed an increase in appetite within the past 2 wks and I had no problem with milk supply until 2-3 days ago. My left breast doesnt seem to produce as much as the right and i feed him on both sides equal amount of time every 2 hrs.It makes no sense why this is happening. I started to pump so we'll see.
Thank you so much, I have been crying for like a month because my milk all of a sudden went low. and hasnt come back in since i think late january...I havent been sleeping and have been stressing out alot. Thank you so much. you have no clue how relieved i am.
I used to drink malt beer (a children's non-alcoholic beer from Germany sometimes called Karamalz) when I was trying to up my supply. Sadly, it didn't work for me, maybe I was a hopeless case. However it HAS helped a lot of mums here increase their supply. It is VERY calorific and quite sweet, but has no alcohol.
I have just discovered your channel and think it's great - well spoken and clear and seriuosly well done on taking the moral high-ground on the recent BF/FF drama on you tube. :))
i have an odd question.... ok here goes.... did your breast get larger the older your babygets with breastfeeding? im nursing my four month old and lately they are becoming really tender as if growing.....did this happen to you? and do you increase milk supply through the months ?
The support group you went to, is it through a program or something? I have been looking into as much info as possible so when the time comes I can be educated :)
GREAT VIDEO!!!! YEAA BREASTFEEDING is so empowering. I had sooo many tough days, so tough that i was ready to cry ( like when my son was going through a growth spurt) whew! Not to mention working full time and breastfeeding..My son is going to be 9 months next weekend and I am so proud i came this far. A lot of you Youtube mommies helped me soo much THANK YOU GIRL I Appreciate it :)
Awsome video!! I'm bf and eating healthier not necessarly dieting. Just making healthier food choices. Lots of ppl dont realize that 300 calories isn't that much and over eat, which is why alot of ppl keep some baby weight. And it also depends on what you eat, like fast foods vs. home cooked meals. Chips & cookies for snacks everyday vs. fruits and veggies as snacks. I ALWAYS keep 100 calorie snack packs with me to satisfy my sweet tooth. I LOVE chocolate.
@aacosta26 And of course like you said lots of water. I try to drink 1 liter everyday. A good way to know if your hydrated is by looking at your pee lol! So TMI but true, in the Army they teach you this... Try and get your pee as clear as possible :D Awsome video Jeni!!
I used to pump in my manager's office not the most comfortable place to pump. I got stressed out in January and went from 13 ozs to 5 ozs each pump. So that is when I decided it was time to stop. I was extremely scared of the drying up process I quit cold turkey had one day of being uncomfortable and then gradually decreased to nothing. I did not hydrate myself well while I was breastfeeding last May and got a kidney stone!
i breastfed and loved it, i had no family on either side to give advice to b/c noone ever did it, and i was a first in our families (both mine and my hubbys) so i was very new to the whole thing. I lasted for a few weeks but i was so stressed, overtired and eating so horribly that i believe thats why my supply got so low, to the point where she was crying non stop for more more more and i couldnt give it to her i broke down w/ a bottle, i pray the next one i have more expierence with now =)
Sawyer and I watched this video together. LOL Im so glad you have somewhere comfortable to pump. We realllllly appreciate it. I need to send you a picture of Sawyer to put on the wall behind you so everyone will know where its going. Thanks for the video. I may need it in the future.
Great video Jeni! I struggled with low milk supply..but I managed to go a lot longer than most so I am blessed! I do think stress played a part. I'm def. favoriting this video! (for next time I'm nursing) cross my fingers we have another one some day!
My best friend has a 6 month old. She did everything under the sun, with the help of a lactation consultant, to try to breast feed! She produced little to no milk so she had to switch to formula. She would pump and get 1/2 an ounce...maybe. She tried taping these tube things to herself that held the formula so her son could be fed while stimulating her milk (and then he would get anything she produced at the same time). She tortured herself for 3 months until she stopped producing anything...
i feel very sad i have low milk supply and i tried every thing except sleeping because i can t she keep me up all night and all day and i wanted to breastfeed so bad and i have no one to help me so that i can sleep during the day i gesse i have no option but doing formula i feel very bad can any one tell me what to do ?
