Tips to increase milk supply: oats/oatmeal, fenugreek, moringa, lactation cookies, staying hydrated, pumping every 3 hrs day and night, using a stationary pump such as spectra as the hands free one dont have as strong of a suction but nice to use once in awhile, and try power pumping once or twice a day, less stress and proper sleep. For formula Id suggest European brands. Good luck!

I don’t know how strong the suction of the momcozy is, but making sure you’re using a pump that has a strong suction helps a lot! Also, just make sure you’re eating enough and drinking plenty of water. It’s truly all about supply and demand.

“i’m so proud of gage” aww that was sweet 🥹

This Alaska Life has been making these Lactation Cookies I will see if I can ask her for the recipe . I used Fenugreek and ate oatmeal . I know you probably don’t drink but I found that having a beer a couple times a week actually helped my supply

Agree with all the comments from the fellow exclusive pumpers! I will say that I splurged on the Elvie (not the stride, that one sucked) and I got very similar if not the same output as the spectra. If you love the convenience of a hands free I would say go with Elvie. And make sure you measure correctly for your flange size. It’ll help with supply and be more comfortable for you. Also, lubricate the flange with pump spray or lanolin ointment. Unfortunately you do need to be pumping every three hours. The late night ones are oftentimes the most plentiful because your prolactin levels are the highest between 1-4am. Once you’ve reached 24-30 ounces in a 24 hr period and your milk is established, try every 4 hrs. Works well for me.

Its so sweet that little Finn went to cheer for his big brother!! He is so cute!! Love your sweet family!

I love LAX season too! Gj Gage and team

Wow that view!!

Babies make the cutiest faces

Bobbi was my favorite formula - very convenient subscription service available too!

I love the baby noises !! I miss those 🥹

Do not give up. It took me long time but it did happen and a lot!

Biggest suggestion is don’t rely on the hands free pump! The wall pump will get the most out as it’s more powerful. Also make sure you have the correct flange size!

In indian cultures we gift new mothers something called panjeeri to help with lactation, it's basically just a bunch of nuts/seeds/butter blended up. sometimes we'll make little 'energy balls' with it that you can then snack on!

I just found I'm pregnant! Can't wait!

I would try to use your spectra or your medla as your main pump because hands free pumps don’t remove milk as well as spectra’s/medals do. Which can cause your supply to go down from not removing all the milk😁 so try power pumping with your spectra and then maybe only use your portable pump once a day. I exclusively pumped for a year and that is what really helped me😊

Hi! We have formula fed since birth - you NEED a portable milk/water warmer. I got ours from Amazon, you just set the temp and put the milk or water in the insulated bottle and wait a couple mins. SUCH a game changer! And our sweet girl loves the Similac Total Comfort. Good luck on this feeding journey! ❤️🫶🏻🍼

I used to use a hydroflask to keep my water hot, and I would stir not shake the formula into the water. Hope it helps

I work at a pediatric office and if you start formula we suggest starting with Enfamil gentle ease. It’s trial and error but that’s where we start. 💕

I was told from a lactation nurse that the sucking action from the baby is what stimulates milk supply. I know he can’t do that right now, but when he can, you’ll probably get an over abundance. I think I also remember avacado for milk supply. I think for babies that struggle with regular formula, Nutramigen not positive of spelling. Really with all you went through with him being in the NICU, His pediatrician should be recommending a good formula to supplement with. Your family is awesome! Many blessings.

I exclusively pumped and my advice would be , pump every 3 hours, even overnight... And use a good electric pump daily too (I loved Spectra) I had a hands free pump too and it was nice on the go, it definitely didn't get as much as the stationary unfortunately.

good vid for start of a new month on a rainy random day in tucson props for using that as a guy im sure it probaly hurts

Are you going to do a name video 😊

Mother's Milk Tea works wonders

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What worked for me (13 months exclusively pumping for twins) : - power pumping for a few days every couple of months - alcohol free beer ( Heineken) - sesame bars (2 per day) - fenugreek every day - polenta (cornmeal) these definitely worked.

Liquid gold supplement! And power pumping once a day for 7-10 days!

Sams club brand is your best bang for your buck. My son did well we transitioned at 9.5 months to formula.

To help with warm formula when outside the home, boil water and put it in a thermos! It'll stay HOT for hours! Then bring room temp water and when you're ready, just mix the water together to a desired temperature

Eating oatmeal works to increase supply. Every day that I ate oatmeal I had more supply. Also using your pump between regular pumping sessions even if no milk coming out will stimulate your body to produce more milk

I honestly never had a favorite formula. I've always just went with whatever the hospital started us on. My oldest had "regular" Gerber Good Start, my second had Similac (whatever the regular one is), and my third had to be on sensitive (this was during the formula shortage so we used various store brands)

Don’t use hands free pump as your main pump. Use a hospital grade like madela or spectra (my personal fav spectra s1) Another big tip is power pump to mimic cluster feeding which is what he most likely is doing at this age. Power pump is 20 min pumping, rest 10 min, pump 10 min, rest 10 min, pump 10 min. Do this 1-2 times a day! Early morning is best around 5-6am

We used the Kirkland brand from Costco

Oatmeal with flaxseed helped. I also liked making oatmeal cookies but i gained more weight along with milk.

Does Finn have a middle name? He’s adorable .

Oatmilk helps milk supply ❤

Having 2 beers/week, Helps you enormously.

Finn looks just like his older brother Winston!

I'm currently taking liquid gold by ledgendary milk and it has been great at bumping my supply. Its 20 dollars for a 10 day supply so 60 dollars a month but still worth it. I too have to supplement with formula but the liquid gold has helped a ton.

Renting a hospital grade pump may help with supply! Also try power pumping to increase your supply. Make sure you’re pumping 8 times a day.

Enfamil Enspire was our favorite formula

With my second baby I pumped while eating , he didn't stay awake long enough for both sides that it worked out for us.

Drinking liquid iv helped my supply! I was so over regular water so it was nice to have something else

I exclusively pumped and i pumped every 2 hours for the first few months!.. 4-6 hours at night. I ate those lactation cookies from Walmart or target 🍪 which I like to think they helped cuz they were so good and took sunflower lecithin pills

What happened to the Donna?

What’s Finn’s middle name? Idk if you’ve ever shared💛

I drank Mothers milk tea that helped but I ended up having complications with all 3 of my kids. Ended up using Similac gas and fussy (orange lid) there regular (blue lid) is very close to breast milk still had the same stool like they nursed.

Gage! How can you not like that song?! Do you like XXX or lil peep at all? Haha. What is your music taste? Now I'm curious

I’m going back home to do my homework now I just need my laptop and a laptop so I’m not sure what I’m going back for but I’m not really feeling well and I’m just trying my harden to be better and I’m just not sure if I’m tutoring today I have a little

Can Carlie pump and help you out ? Until yours improves?

I love your videos Dude and my name is weston

You could also try donor milk!

Fenugreek for milk supply is what my lactation nurse recommend. Good luck Kayli you're doing great!

My son was premature and needed extra calories and he did great on similac NeoSure. My daughter did well on similac pro sensitive. (We used the Sam’s brand equivalent)

Body armor helps milk supply! Plexus also helps milk supply!

Sweet Kayli... Please if you are going down the formula route, listen to your pediatrician. They are on top of recalls and updates on formulas. 🥰

Every time you finish feeding, pump the rest of the milk out of both sides. It will really increase your supply and storage. and eat oatmeal and lots of water.

From a RN here-Pump every 2 hours even wake up in the middle of the night. Put him to breast first (if you’re actually breast feeding) and then pump. The more “action” there, the more milk comes and stays!:)

If you’re not against this but maybe post on social media that you are looking for some donor milk to have in the freezer while you are working on your supply. But the Bobbie formula is really good!

My daughter went through 10 different formulas before a friend told us about goats milk. My daughter had no problems on it and they say it's the closest thing to breast milk.

Our son is allergic to gluten, so we had to use soy milk formula!

You could eat tons of oatmeal, or I've heard drinking those body Armour drinks are good for milk supply!

Power pump at least once a day, legendairy liquid gold supplement, Gatorade. Baby Brew travel bottles warmer

I wish I had the confidence to let my 16 year old drive me places. I know she needs the practice but the anxiety I get is really hard.

Honestly nicu is traumatic and it’s hard to keep supply up sometimes after. We used NUTRIMAGEN which is dairy free but lots of good ones.

To boost your supply the baby needs to nurse directly from your breast as much as possible! I would say skip pumping for a solid week and watch your supply increase.

One tip for increasing your milk supply is by making sure you empty your breasts as much as possible each time so it signals to your body to make more milk. If you are nursing, try to pump right afterwards for approx 10 minutes to help empty out as much as possible. ☺️

Keep tryingvto nurse everyday

:( dont know wheather you removed my comment or the government at this point but your mother insticts exist for a reason Finn needs your 8008milk from the 8008 as much as gage needed it Dont you gind it odd that 2 of your other babies sort of ended up like finn due to not getting a c section soon enough and they 8008milked just fine

I sent you a recipe on IG that I swear by increased my supply tremendously by ALOT back to having to use pads to not leak out.

If you do want to continue pumping, your best bet is seeing a lactation consultant. They can really help you out with your exact situation and needs. Good luck!
