Increase milk supply

2020-12-13 11:36:50
My daughter doesn't feed breastmilk directly  so milk supply is very low and decreasing. Now I am trying to increase milk supply by using breast pump. Is it possible to increase supply only with using the pump?

Yes, breast pump would help in expressing milk.... But you have to take good calorie diet and think positively for it...

Hi, Breast pump is only to remove milk, it will not increase the milk production. When the baby is sleepy or about to wake up, breast feed the baby directly.
