I wish you talked about the growth spurts because it is the reason why a lot of women give up breastfeeding as they think they just dry up. It works by 3-6-9. At 3-6-9 days, 3-6-9 weeks and most importantly 3-6-9 months, baby needs to feed a lot more. They ask for the boob intensively for about 2 days. The mother's body doesn't have time to adjust to it straight away, so they might not get all the milk that they want to have. But that's ok, and because of supply and demand, the body is going to get the information that it needs to produce more. And after a couple of days, everything is back to normal. The supply of milk meets the baby's demand. SO many women give up breastfeeding when baby is 3 months old because they think they don't produce enough. I wish mothers knew about this.

I think the only thing i would add to this is pumping is breastfeeding. So all the pumping moms don’t feel any less!! 💕💕Just because you are feeding your breastmilk through a bottle doesn’t mean you are not breastfeeding your baby. We are all putting in the work! 💪🏽

Watching this as I breastfeed my newborn daughter. This couldn’t have come at a better time and was much needed! Thank you, Dulce! ❤️

Second time breast feeding over here and so much easier this time around. First time I was so nervous not knowing if baby was getting enough and taking so much supplements and eating stuff that really wasn’t needed and it made me pack on the pounds. I think we see all these mommas pumping and storing insane amounts of milk and good for them but the reality is most people unless they’re spending tons of time away from their baby don’t wed to do that. You don’t always have to have a stash of milk. The reason I mention this is because I believe this is why a lot of moms gets discouraged and think they don’t make enough milk when they actually do and by the way what you see in your pump is not what you actually have in your boob and some women aren’t responsive to the pump so you can pump and pump and not see much and just give up. I almost did until I started paying attention to baby and she was having tons of wet diapers and real good weight gain which is what you want to see. I drink lots of water now and make my own oatmeal cookies and that’s about it. Please don’t think you need to do all these things and all these supplements to get milk. Some mommas may actually not produce enough but that’s actually the exception and not rule and you want to be careful with pumping you don’t want to create an over supply I know it sounds like something good but it can be a nightmare. Just eat well drink lots of fluids and put the baby to the breast frequently and as long as you’re getting lots of wet diapers and baby looks happy and is gaining weight you are just fine. Well this was way longer than I intended it to be but hope it helps someone.

Long comment but worth it!! Red meat (not lean chicken, we need fatty protein), eggs, walnuts, red raisins, blue Gatorade and 60 ounces of water a day did wonders for my supply, and helped my milk maintain the fat needed to help the baby pack on the weight. Went from 1.5 ounces from both breast to 12 ounces overall every 3 hours. If you lay the ground work at the beginning it becomes easier in the long haul. I started feeding/pumping 7 sessions at first and was able to cut down to 5 sessions after 3 months with 3 of those pumps happening while at work! You have to make your body work smarter not harder for you. So the more your baby demand milk, the more it’ll tell your body to make more, even if nothing’s happening at first. And also remember, for some women your supply won’t come in for up to 8-10 weeks after the baby is born! Don’t be so hard on yourself if you have to give the baby formula. It’s not the end of the world but don’t give up if on breastfeeding if you can, as your passing on your immune system to the baby, plus you’ll lose a ton of weight as an added bonus!

Great information provided. I’ve been a nicu nurse for 8 1/2 years and am currently working on getting my lactation consultant certification. I’ve worked along side LCs for 8 1/2 years. So lots of what dulce said is great helpful information. I do want to add though please follow American academy of pediatric guidelines when it comes to proper sleep items for babies. As well the mother milk tea has a side effect I’ve seen personally many times is bloody stools so just be cautious when taking it. Look into local lactation consultants available to people in your area. And lastly someone commented about formula reducing supply. That’s not true I gave my daughter formula for a month until we got a schedule and milk supply was best. I never pumped extra to increase my supply I just made sure I breastfed first all the time. All women are different, I’ve seen plenty of moms who actually have a condition that does not allow them to have breastmilk and weren’t aware that was possible. In the end Just remember FED IS BEST!

Awesome video! I have been exclusively pumping for my baby boy since February 25th when he was born. I unfortunately haven’t been able to nurse him since he was born at 24 weeks 6 days and had a very hard time learning to feed. Pumping can be so energy draining but being able to give my baby my breast milk is the best feeling ever!

Loved this video. I feel the same way about breastfeeding, I just enjoy it so much. I am proud to be able to still do it, and I am proud of all the mamas who continue to do it also. It’s such hard work and we should get merit badges for it!

Hi Dulce, and others who are reading, just wanting to let everyone know that the SNOO is not safe for sleeping. Vibrations reduces babies arousal state which increases the chance of SIDS. All restraints in bassinets are prohibited and will never pass bassinet safety standards.

Love this video, I dont have a newborn anymore but I breastfed my youngest for 3 years. It gets easier ladies, stay strong mamas who are having a hard time 💕💪🏼

I think your tips are good, but really, it’s not necessary to pump so often. If you can do it, great. But in order to bring in your milk effectively and keep it, is to nurse the baby literally as much as you can throughout the day. I just had my second, and he nursed literally 24/7. He’s 2 months old and my milk supply has never been this good. I’d go crazy having to pump that much. I just don’t want moms to feel that they need to pump THAT much especially if they work full time out of the house. But she’s right, it’s all about supply and demand. It’s the only way.

Awww🥺 the message at the end was so encouraging. Thank you Dulce 😘 and also, Jesse is the real MVP to massage you while you’re nursing! Way to go daddy- that’s a partnership right there 💪🏽 massaging is great and it prevents mastitis!

Really love what you said at the end of your video. No mama should ever feel bad how they feed their baby. I wish more moms would feel this way!

Omg I finally found your channel again I used to watch you back when I was in 5th grade (I’m 25 now and now have a baby and breastfeeding) i love how you’re expanding more than just makeup!!

Thank you for the tips. New mommy here and breastfeeding has been stressful! My little guy was only 5lbs 6oz so we were recommended to formula feed him too to bring his weight up. With that being said we bottle feed too and I never thought about the nipple!! Now it makes sense as to why he gets so angry when milk doesn’t come out as fast from my breast! Definitely changing the nipples in the bottles!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Breastfeeding my son that’s a week younger than your son while watching this video. Went through the baby blues and it was tough. I get a lot of milk and my son occasionally chokes from having so much. I would get so scared and frustrated.... Low supply to high supply we all have our challenges. Thankfully I’ve found a routine and I’m now donating my extra milk to mommas that are in need. Having one to two or more children it’s never the same experience we’re always learning. So thankful for the mommas that let us know we’re not alone 💙

Watching this as I pump for my little one I've been exclusively pumping since he was born he is 4months old but 3 months adjusted it's one of the hardest things but I just keep pushing through bc to know my baby is still getting the nutrients make it worth it .. thanks for this video I've been wanting to give up numerous times from clogged ducts it's so painful

I love you Dulce! I have been watching since before you had your first son!

Thank you for sharing!! I had a hard time with my first and now that I’m expecting my second baby I want to be on top of getting everything I need to produce enough milk.

Coming from someone who has their CLC, this is an awesome video with lots of great and FACTUAL information ❤️

Love that we were both prego at the same time! I’m enjoying the baby videos so much and this one came at a perfect time! Thanks for the tips Dulce! 💕

Your natural hair looks amazingggg , i love it 😍

Wonderful advices! As a Lactation Consultant approved! Good job!

I'm not even a mum yet and this gave me insight, I'm looking forward to motherhood knowing there is amazing info like this... it got me excited xx ♥ You're beautiful

Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been struggling to breastfeed and struggling with my milk supply. This has helped a lot and hopefully I can get to where you are

I love the haaka! That way you can pump while you nurse!

I love how confident you are with this video Dulce!! I was so excited to finally watch this. My secret was the Costco Kirkland organic coconut water in the HUGE like 1 liter bottles!! You're kicking ass. Keep it up!!

Oh my god I needed this two weeks ago! I’ve been so stuck on a good routine and this is perfect! Thank you!!!!

Thank you for this video Dulce! I was completely using my Hakaa wrong and gave up on its after a couple tries but when I went back to it the proper way you showed us LOL it works without any pain I’m so happy! My let down is so much more using it the right way haha. BF is a reward! Our bodies are amazing. And I love knowing I’m doing good for my baby. I’m so glad I didn’t give up the first couple days because IT DOES GET BETTER! Im on week 2 with me newborn

Breastfeeding is so hard. It can be painful sometimes but it’s so worth it. Almost 5 weeks in as a ftm. Hanging in there 🥰😅

Thank you Cande! You are a burst of light!! I’ve been feeling down and you helped me so much!

I’m not breastfeeding my baby Yet! Currently 29 weeks pregnant with baby #3. Thank you Dulce! I’ve been scouring the Internet for information like this❤️ I’ve got about a 6 pc nugget of info😊 even as a 3rd time mama I’m still learning things I didn’t know before 😁

Wow, this video is so informative! I saved it for when I get pregnant with my second because honest to God I already forgot the drill on breastfeeding. And my first just turned 3. Sadly, I stopped at 4 months the first time. My tip based on what I did wrong is never stop giving the boob, always offer your breast first and try to relax and make it a bonding moment. I associated breastfeeding with stress and I know I sent a message and atmosphere of stress to my baby, on the other hand when feeding him breastmilk in a bottle I had zero stress. He soon stopped taking my breast and wanted only the bottle and my breastmilk of course stopped coming in so I had to formula feed after really and honestly giving up out of the stress of it all. I basically stressed myself for no reason until exhaustion. I hope this helps someone. I know for my second, I’ll know at least what NOT to do. Don’t stress babes! You got this! Xoxo Edit: After finishing this video now I know I also committed the error of giving the regular sized nipple when bottle feeding. So I made it easier to bottle feed than breastfeed. Wow Dulce, this video is GOLD. Thank you so much bella!

Thank you for sharing all you’ve learned! So insightful and beautiful 🥰

Mother’s milk tea contains fenugreek.

This is probably the best video you have put out. So much good information! Wish I had this when I was struggling with BF

This works if you are able lucky enough to breastfeed. My son wouldn't latch so I've been pumping with the same Medela in style for almost 6 months. My supply has tanked so bad. I literally was set to quit pumping 4 days ago because I was only able to pump 10-12 oz a day the last 6 weeks where it had been 20 oz before that. But I decided last minute to try the spectra pump. I'm hoping it will help increase my supply. It pumps similar to the Medela symphony that the hospital loaned me before I got the in style through insurance.

This made me feel a relief tbh because it hasn’t been easy to breastfeed my daughter it’s exhausting but I wouldn’t change it in the world because the connection to get with you baby it’s amazing :) thank you for your tips 💓 god bless you and your beautiful family 🙏🏻

Gr8 tips Nuk bottles are just like mom !! Even the flow they have to do the work test it turn the bottle upside down none will drip out unless you put pressure on it! Its so cool and it comes out in streams just like mom

Wonderfully done video Dulce, my baby is now 4 months and I struggled with milk supply as well but you hit everything that worked for me. If I could add something else would be having skin to skin with baby for an hour per day. After doing skin to skin my supply increased noticeably, just try different positions where your sore breasts wont get scratched by baby. Best of luck to all the new mommas, be patient don’t stress you are doing amazing. 🥰😘😘

Loved this video so much. Couldn’t have come in at a better time. Thank you Dulce 💜

First time mom and this is super helpful.

Hola dulce, te sigo desde que estabas en el ejército y nos enseñabas cómo te maquillabas entonces. Hace muchos años ya. Enhorabuena por tu hermosa familia, eres una enorme inspiración para mí

I had my baby 10 years ago and i can see now why i failed in my breastfeeding process. And i had no one to help me, because my mom and mother-in-law didn't give me any good advice, even though both of them had more than 1 child. I didn't have a lactation consultant and it wasn't even a thing at that time, where i come from. I wish i was into youtube back then and that i found a video like this.

Such a beautiful, informative and inspiring video, Dulce!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Blessings and light to you and your sweet fam! xo 🙏🏼💛

I use mine correctly but I only get 1/2 - 1 oz

Watching this showed me how to use the silicone cup lol

Watching this as I’m pumping. Thank you for this! Never thought about the premie nipple for the bottle feeding so those are being ordered now!

I got a knock off of the Hakka and it totally works too. I get about two ounces of milk each time is crazy. I got it cause I noticed my pads where súper full. No more milk going to waste now

Thank you for this video, my newborn is 3 weeks, I been having a hard time pumping/ help.

Thank you for posting this 💓

I'm not pregnant but this is very helpful cause I can know the info of what I gotta know when I do decide to get Prego, and what not to do thank you so much dulce, try milk thistle

My baby is five weeks today and she straight up refuses the boob 😭💔 I am gonna find preemie nipples!!! SUCH a helpful tip omg!!! Woww. I've been watching youtibe every time I pump for weeks and this is the first two amazing helpful tips I've found that are different and applicable to us!!! And also the pace feeding I've been trying to find tips and wow tysm!!! I am also getting a supplemental nursing system, so I hope she gets back to nursing!!

I wish I had this video 15 months ago 😩😩but thank you for sharing and your wonderful words of wisdom 🙏🏼💗💗

Thank you for sharing your experience and giving us tips and tricks to breastfeed ❤️ I’m loving your videos lately ❤️

Such great advice and tips! Only thing I would say is to invest in a better pump! I use baby buddha breast pump it’s so powerful which will extract more milk a lot quicker ☺️☺️

Omg Dulce I’m so happy you made this video!! There’s so much information out there on breast feeding I didn’t know where to even start I got so overwhelmed and I was about to give up bc my milk supply started going down. But you made this video straight to the point and I learned so much from it thank you! I’m going to try everything you mentioned 😃 God bless your beautiful family💖

Such an amazing mama 💕

love you Dulce!

Thank you for this video Dulce. Can you tell us how you sanitize you breast pump parts?

Thank you!!! New mommy to be here.

Im 10 days PP and I love breastfeeding I’m excited to try this protein shake!

Thank you so much this was very helpful!

The haakaa was amazing the first 2 weeks of my sons birth when I was still trying to breastfeed. It really did catch a lot of the milk I would have just lost. I haven't had to use it after that since I quit trying to breastfeed

Thank you for this video 💕

Can you do a newborn must haves video?

So happy you uploaded due with my first next month and wanting to breastfeed. 💕

Woow thankyou soo much for all the tips and info Candy!! My baby is 3 months old and Iam breast and bottle feeding him. And ever since he was born my milk supply is very low🥺 thanks Iam going to be doing the pumping starting today.

Thanks for the video! One question, do you clean and sterilize your pump each time?

You look beautiful girl!! 💓

You're doing great Dulce ♥️

sending love ur way you have beautiful children 💙

That mothers milk tea has fenugreek as well!

Omg I haven’t seen your videos in a long time! The last one I remember you were vlogging driving in your car woooow I’m currently trying to increase my supply after it decreased after my maternity leave

Very helpful and inspiring! Due at the end of Sept 🥰

Did you start pumping right away after your baby was born?

What type of oil would you use to massage your breast?

Thanks for sharing Dulce! This is so helpful! I'm due in winter and there is so much to learn! Do you think breast implants impeads milk supply?

My baby is 3weeks old his breastfed mostly. Having a hard time staying consistent with pumping cause I was a little discouraged by the amount I was getting out, and I also have other children to take care of n house chores . Little bit of laziness too. So do you have to pump?? I try to nurse him as much and stay hydrated. Definitely understand your video. The more you empty out the breast the body will make more milk

Did you use your Willow pump? If so how does it work?

Hi dulce, was wondering what formula you feed your baby ? I myself had my baby 36 weeks. He just turned 1 month this past Monday. Breastfeeding is a challenge for me and milk supply as well, I’m trying everything so thank u for this video. I’m having to do 90% formula and 10% breast milk I noticed my baby doesn’t like powder so I have to do liquid formula and still be fighting it. So stressful and formula you suggest? Currently on Enfamil the purple one, the regular yellow one was too much for my baby.

your eyelash is so cute. can you post the brand please....!

Dulce, where did you get your top/dress? Its beautiful!!

How long after the baby is born do you start pumping?

Breastfeeding was so painful for me as well. I would cry while I nursed my son. What helped me a lot were the nipple shields. The mothers tea helped also. But IDK if it was the tea or the warmth of it that caused a let down. Definitely worth the effort tho 🥰 Loved the bonding time with my babies.

Did you take any vitamin d supplements or did you give him vitamin d drop?

What if I can’t extract milk. I don’t make enogh. And my baby has started redirecting me 😢

Watching this as I’m pumping lol I’m scared of going back to work and milk supply might go down

About to have my 4th boy andddddd I forgot I still get anxious about breastfeeding 😢

You do not have to pump. As long as you are feeding your baby on demand your supply will be exactly what your baby needs. Pumping tells your body that the baby needs more than it is drinking. This can cause engorgment and may even lead to clogged ducts/mastitis if you don’t continue emptying your breasts as often as you are. Mommas need rest and sleep. Feeding every 2 hours and then still pumping can get very exhausting very soon.

Our babies are the same age and I'm having such a hard time with this. Do you keep pumping even if nothing comes out anymore?

I have the same pump as you and I was wondering if you use a pump bra with it and do you usually pump both at the same time? Also watched this while pumping lol

Do you have implants? I am struggling because of that?

What kind of oatmilk do drink

I love you mom

I am having a problem my baby is drinking milk on only one side breast and my milk supply is very low. Can you please help so that my baby start taking both breast

This maybe the dumbest question, but the hakkaa pump once u latch it on, does the milk automatically flow or do u have to pump out all the milk.?

I just dried up... and my baby is 3 months old... 🙁🙁🙁

Market supply chai🙏

I have breastfed exclusively (i mean no formula) for 3 years each of my childern. If you don’t give any formula, your supply gets adjusted to the baby’s needs by the second month. That means you have EXACTLY as much milk as the baby is asking. You don’t need supplements or extra pumping. If you give also formula, the breast produces less milk than what the baby is asking for , that’s why you feel the need to increase your supply. If you give formula and want to reduce it and finally get rid of it, you can do it gradually. A little less formula and more nursing the first day and so on. It is absolutely normal for the baby to nurse many times a day, whenever he likes for as long as he likes. No schedules, the baby knows better. This is no judgement, just facts. Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language. Congrats Dulce for your gorgeous boy and for doing the best you can! ❤️
