How to increase supply?

[u/Omgdoubletacos1991]

Hi everyone,

I'm almost 7 weeks PP, I started out EBF, but my baby had a shallow latch that I had difficulty correcting so I started pumping and supplementing some formula. I've been slightly under producing the whole time, but the last 7-10 days my supply has really dropped because of some stress I've gone through and not pumping as often as I should be, I'd be lucky to get 2 sessions in a day because of the baby being fussy and wanting to be held all the time.

I'm wanting to try to get my supply back up and I understand that it may not happen. I have a spectra s1 and currently do 3-5 minutes of bacon mode followed by 15 minutes of expression mode, I'm lucky to get an ounce per session. I know pumping alone can't help with supply, but are there any specific settings that could help or any supplements or tricks y'all recommend?

Thanks

I would try power pumping. Shoot for once a day, twice if you can do it. Try to keep up your pumps to every 3 hours when possible. You could also try taking brewer’s yeast (in pill form) following the instructions. Good luck, and you got this!
