HEY Ya'll- here's an updated video from this milky mama of 2 now :) ua-cam.com/video/mHEjTtHx28Y/v-deo.htmlsi=4fZMkQozUflZUQDF
I lost my first daughter during birth and started developing milk so soon which was so hard for me to deal with at the time. but I’m currently pregnant with my second which will be a boy! And I’m praying I can breast feed this time! Due date February 9th! Please keep me in ur prayers . Thanks for the video ❤
Praying for you 🥹
May God protect you and the baby. 🙏
Blessings for you and you baby! Praying for safe and healthy delivery for both !!
Wish you nothing but a healthy delivery and baby congrats
That was my due date too but baby came super early😩. Thankfully he’s developed enough to survive in the NICU with special care
I was very naive about how I expected my breastfeeding journey to go. I had every intention of breastfeeding exclusively and on demand. My baby girl is 1 month old and I've fed her from my breast only a handful of times.
This compounded with baby blues has been very difficult to manage, and although I'm in a better place now that my hormones have stabilized, I find myself grieving from time to time.
My best advice, work with a lactation consultant, stay hydrated, and remember supply and demand is the greatest contributor to establishing your milk production.
Lastly, if pumping, be sure to get a session in overnight. Between midnight and 6am on average is when we produce the highest levels of prolactin. This will be a big help in getting your milk to increase. Learned that gem of advice from my IBCLC.
Best wishes to all of you mamas out there. ❤️
I’m watching this video like I’m pregnant or have a newborn. I have a 3yr old and I breastfed her for 21 months. One thing that you said was, after she nursed you could only pump 1oz. That’s perfectly normal. That means she emptied both breast. If she didn’t nurse and you just exclusively pumped, I guarantee you would’ve pumped at least 3-4oz.
I’m one of those 1% who tried the cookies, those pills, drinks and the cookies and brownies by that same lactation company. None of those things worked for me. I returned back to work when my baby was 4mo and I would pump every few hours while at work so she would have milk for the next day. I never produced enough milk to have an overflow but I was always able to pump enough where she wasn’t hungry.
Breastfed babies don’t drink as much as formula fed babies. Like, my baby never drank more than 3oz of milk from a bottle. I say alllll of that to say, you’re more than enough and don’t stress or obsesses yourself with a milk supply. Your milk changes as your baby grows so you’ll find yourself with a large stash of milk that’s different from what your body produces now. I hope that makes sense. Your milk will get fattier and more golden in color as your baby girl grows.
Don’t stress. You’re doing a great job and you got this.
Thank you for your advice. Daughter just got out of nicu and has pretty much used up all that I had produced when she was in there since we have been home. I will nurse her more and pump after! I just need to figure out how she’ll let me pump 😅
Breastfeeding is the best thing I’ve done for my son! He will be 9 months on the 24th, still breastfed. It’s def not the easiest thing and very time consuming but I feel it’s the best choice for my son. It’s a blessing to be able to breastfeed. I encourage everyone to at least try.
In addition, try to stay away from cold foods and drinks.. After birth it is best to eat rich warm foods.. Have soups, broth, porridge, drink tea.. it really helps
hey girl ! i drink body armor tropical coconut drinks, LOTS of water, and lactation cookies. also making sure i eat good meals! i now pump about 15oz in the morning from over night and 8-10oz during the day! i’ve been following for a while, love your channel ! and yessss girl the first 2-3 weeks of breastfeeding when i had my baby girl in september was the hardest ! you are an amazing mother wanted to let you know that ! 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Outside of the lactation pills and snacks did you drink the armor tropical drinks during pregnancy? I'm 28 weeks with my 2nd. I had a c section and I couldn't get my supply for anything. So this time around I want to prepare.
@@ShesRelatable No that was actually my first time ever drinking the drinks. I didn’t start drinking them until maybe a week after i had my daughter. so oatmeal, prenatal pills, lactation cookies, and body armor helped me a lot
@@skyyclark2293 thank you so much
Which lactation cookies did you eat
I admire you so much !! I just had my baby 8 days ago. I had an emergency c section as well! I’ve been back and forth with formula and breastfeeding but now I’m feeling like you! Im disgusted that I have to use formula! So I’ve been looking for ways to increase my supply. I love how honest you are because it definitely isn’t easy and I see why so many women give up !
Absolutely! It’s so easy to give up. But I’m literally obsessed with breast feeding now.
Wow I'm not alone
Keep pushing through! My baby is almost a month old and I’m not giving up on getting her fully breastfed. I still have to sometimes give formula so she can feel full. But I’m not giving up. Just feed on demand, even if all they want is just to feel your tittie in their mouth and not suck keep doing that. Let them love on you and it’ll help produce milk. 🫶🏼
Formula smells so bad 😢
@@IAmErickaJChannel what is the best breast pump
My baby just made 6 days today. He’s my second c section and both times have been difficult to breast feed 😩😩. It has been so discouraging. I’m going to try these methods! Thank you for sharing , this vid came right on time! ❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽congratulations!!!!!
Congrats momma , I struggled producing milk for my first bby and noticed that eating cold things or drinking cold things would decrease my supply idk maybe it was just my body but try to keep your body warm ,drink warm water or warm tea( mothers milk tea) & eat hot soups I hope that works
@@plantbasedponzo2893 thank you so much! I am going to be keeping that in mind from now on.
@@rodneishae No problem hope it works, and pls don't stress yourself some breast milk is better than none (that's what the lactation consultant told me) there were days when I was beyond tired and my baby got a nice warm bottle of Similac lol
Fenugreek is the best plus drink lots of fluid !!!!
This is amazing....Let God use you; we need influencers in the breastfeeding world. I breastfed all 4 of my boys. I use to be a peer counselor for WIC, a quick tip to increase milk production is the more you breastfeed, the more milk you make. I used fenugreek and pump when my little one was sleep. Great job keep going
YOU DOING GOOOODDDTTTT ! Greatest advice to give momma! Congratulations again & welcome to mommyhood. Wishing you nothing but the best in your new life of MOMPRENUERSHIP! I had 3 babies vaginally & my supply didn’t come until 12-24+ hours later. I just kept doing skin to skin & letting them nurse. Their saliva & suction on the nipple triggers the release of prolactin hormones. The body naturally communicates with the baby to know how much the body should produce for the baby, even when baby is sick, the body increases the antibodies necessary to heal the baby. When using things to increase milk supply, be careful because it can make your breast sore in long run & pumping too much can leave nipples raw and have swollen/ blocked milk ducts. 4 bottles of water is half a gallon, I aim for half at least and shoot for 8 bottles a day. Breastmilk is 90% water and 10% fat. I had 2 unassisted home births & my last was a hospital birth. My 3rd baby started cluster feeding around 12 hours old and that bought in a increase in my milk. He nursed every hour on the hour. My daughter started cluster feeding around 20 hours old. I was concerned that all my placenta didn’t come out reason why my milk didn’t come in immediately but I was fine. My first born, my milk came in the next day but we both slept the first day away and he cluster fed! He was born 9 pounds, by 3 weeks he had 3 growth spurts weighing 13 pounds and grew a inch and a half. He was 15 pounds by the time he was 1. Trust your body to do exactly what needs to be done, c-section or not. It is the physical representation of god and does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’m a herbalist and holistic birth and postpartum doula, offering prenatal support as well. Herbs like nettle leaf, alfalfa, & fennel are great for increasing milk supply. I used fenugreek and it helped to, some women say it stopped their supply. This won’t be the last time you experience her having a growth spurt & needing more milk. Eat foods like chic peas, flax seeds, kale oatmeal, almond milk & Irish moss. Also, your body is still trying to regulate hormones wise, keep taking your prenatal vitamins. Include maca root in your diet. Irregular hormones can lead to postpartum alopecia, stress and most cases pp depression. & one last thing, eat 3x more calories so you can keep your energy. Get lots of sleep to regulate stress levels. Your doing a great job momma! For your first baby you got the game down pack! Your angel is beautiful (she’s look just like her daddy) Dont hesitate to contact me when you need to. I make herbal prenatal & postpartum vitamins with grade A quality sea vegetables. Now let’s celebrate..SIS YOU DOING A GOOD JOB, SIS YOU DOING A GOOD JOB!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Wow I l loved reading your comment. I’m suppose to be going in for my c-section on the 6th this Wednesday and trying to research because I had some supply issues with my second son. Lots of good info you shared. Thank you. Your awesome! ❤😊
I absolutely love how you speak upon your experiences and don't push them on other people. Thanks for being so real. And keep being that black girl magic
100%
Thank you so much!
Willie willie
Wow! So helpful! My baby is just one week short of being 2 months and my milk supply has gone way down to the point I had to put him on formula. I hope trying these methods will bring my supply back up. I became very very skinny from breastfeeding as well and that postpartum depression got me a bit! I tell myself that if my baby is good that’s all that matters so that’s what motivates me not to worry about how my body looks. Thanks Ericka this was very thoughtful of you! 😘
Cam you tell me did it worked.. I'm in your place now and I'm stressing so much
She’s so pretty I’m so happy for you, you prayed for her for so long 😩 ugh there is just so much joy in this video ✨✨. Keep Shinning we see you girl 💛💛
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Our birth stories are almost identical. Im 11 days postpartum and want to quit breastfeeding so bad. My boobs are so sore and I’m so close to switching to formula full time. We are supplementing. This video gave me some encouragement tho, thank you!
Quit no will is here to judge you. Breastfeeding is worse than going to war.
Thank you so much for this video. I definitely took notes. My baby is due 4/9/2022 and breastfeeding is really my one of main goals so far..💕
Any updates on your breastfeeding experience ? ❤
I really needed this video!! I’m on my breast milk journey and sometimes it’s discouraging but I am not willing to give up everything you’re doing I’m currently doing and it encourages me to press on 🙏🏾
My milk supply is good but during my period it decreases and I didn’t know you could do all this to try and help the milk supply. I talked to my babies pediatrician about the decrease during my period and she told me I would have to start formula feeding but I sure as hell did not want to do that. After my period leaves my milk supply goes back to normal. This video has been so helpful! Thank you!
Oatmeal Is key for breast milk supply! It's the first thing the older folks will tell you to start eating before giving birth so that your milk supply can come in right after birth.
It really works! For my first I ate oatmeal before birth and my breasts were leaking. This time around I didn’t eat oatmeal and I’m due in one week. No milk yet. However I had issues in my first pregnancy so I couldn’t breastfeed. I’m hoping this time is different. Gonna have to go buy some oats!
Yes honey! 🍯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can confirm oatmeal worked instantly for me 🎉
We’re you ladies eating any certain oats?
Yess for some reason I went from producing 8oz each pumping session, to 2-3oz!
So I bought oatmeal & THE next day I was back up to around 5oz and I’m slowly getting it back up!
You’re such a relief and support ! My supply has dipped dramatically at 6 months 😭 and am still struggling but believe you me you just encouraged me to try harder, am now on formula but I still pump and pray 🙏🏼
Had your baby started on solids? Because that would be why.
I love how informative you are with us about everything you’re flourishing in!!! ❤️😍😇
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽☺️
Girl you literally made me feel so much better you made me smile 😂😅I was so overwhelmed and I cried lol I even ordered formula but this video really made me feel better
Loved this video! It’s like listening to a friend who’s just giving you advice ☺️ thank you for adding the images of the products as well!!
Thank you so much for being transparent. You are absolutely right so many people don't talk about breastfeeding.
I’m going to buy everything right now. Because my son is now 6 months old and I only pump 1 1/2 ounces A DAY. I cry about it all the time which probably doesn’t help. But I can’t help it. I hate giving him formula. But I’m just not producing enough. I’ve listen to people before but they don’t go into detail like u just did. Thank u! And I’m going to start my journey. I’ll let u know in 2-3 weeks on how it’s going. Wish me luck.
How did it go?
Thank you! Had my first baby 9 days ago and was struggling with latching. Now that I have that figured out, this video helped me figure out how to improve my milk supply! ❤
What ended up working for you ? Curious I had my baby 9 days ago and my supply is my problem
Giiiiirl… my baby boy is 10 weeks old. I had him through IVF as well and it was the hardest thing. 3 cycles, 4 transfers and 1 miscarriage and I was finally blessed with him. I also had a C-section and was so discouraged when he developed jaundice because he wasn’t getting enough milk. The lactation cookies and crackers and body armour have been my go to! My supply recently dropped this week and I was scrolling for some encouragement and I love this video! Sending love to you and your beautiful baby🤍
You go girl! You are so strong. You went through so much for your blessing. Wishing you both well 🫶🏾❤️
Did it work for you
I’m telling you, you were born to be a mommy. You’re a naturalist 💕💕
☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Mamas for the awesome guidance. Much respects to your journey. I’m also an IVF mama and on top of that using surrogacy. I’m expecting my baby soon and found out I can induce lactation without being preggo. My surrogate’s no comfortable breast feeding, as she struggled too. So I’m hoping to feed my baby milk and these are great tips. Love the honest review and mama wisdom. Your baby girl is beautiful!
Gratitude 🙏🏾 for this video!!! You most definitely gave me more motivation.
I've had a breast reduction and I breastfeed my 2 week old son. I pump only 1 ounce and a half and supplement a ounce of formula. I keep him on the breast for feeding only when he's cranky and is not getting enough and then I give him a ounce of formula. My goal is to stop formula completely.
She is so adorable 🥰 and a cutie pie!!!
Wow I was having a hard time getting my baby to latch back in 2022 and was only able to pump a half of an oz on each side and got really disappointed. I also had a breast reduction when I was 18 but when I gave birth was 34 & thought that was the reason I didn’t produce milk. I’m pregnant again and due 6/15 and you’ve given me more hope to try again and to try these products! Thank you ❤
I absolutely love how real you are thank you for your content
Im going to try some of these other options . I tried the tea, coconut water , body armor and so vitamins and I'm pumping about 4oz a day . I was getting discouraged but I'm going to keep trying.
Me crying and pumping bcuz I’m not producing 4 days after an emergency c section! I needed every minute of this video!!! Thank you ❤
You are so welcome! Try to stay as hydrated as possible!!!!
I love your honesty , I purchased two bottles of butterfly growth hair oil and I know your a honest business woman , so excited for my journey to bra strap length ❤️❤️
im glad this work for you☺️i tried all the stuff you have there and i still produced very little milk. 😭😭😭is a blessing to produce so much!!!
2x C section mommy here (emergency C section + NICU time and 1 planned) With my first baby I had all the same feeling you had and was trying everything to breast feed my baby and I was successful but it definitely was depressing at times where I saw only 1oz or when I realized I wasn't a COW /oversuppler.
My 2 baby I took a better route for my self and it was a lot more relaxed and I decided NOT to try all the cookies and teas and fenugreek and supplement but insteadput baby to the breast and use a Hakka on the breast he wasn't nursing and it made a HELL of a difference FOR ME. I decided to pump 1 or 2x a day and let him nurse all the other times and surprisingly I was able to build a stash that he was able to use well after 12 months.
Yup. Nurse + Haakaa. But always NURSE! Wish I knew that. Nurse that baby! And use haakaa in the other side. Boom.
You don’t how happy I am for a beautician to actually have a BABY GIRL!!! 😍❤️👶🏾🍼 I swear all the stylists I know have boys 😂 congrats on your bundle of joy Miss Seven 😍😘 🎉 🍾🥂 shes absolutely beautiful 😍😍
Your baby is beautiful. Well this was encouraging. I had to have my baby girl at 35 weeks and we had to stay in nicu for 2 weeks. I used that mother's milk in previous pregnancies and that was all I used. But this one..... way different and I guess since she was taken from me right after birth she had been rejecting direct feeding. So I drank that tea and I was pumping out so so so much milk. Got home and end up getting nipple shield shaped like a bottle for her to direct feed and I stopped pumping and this milk has decreased drastically. Then my dang nipples cracked.... currently using mothers milk, goats rue herbal tea, and a supplement. Going to be trying to stay consistent with trying to get her to latch and this power pumping. I know that was a lot but I read comments and being a mommy is hard. We ALL NEED SUPPORT!!!!
I love love love this video. Your daughter is beautiful. After 4 c-sections I agree, breastfeeding ain't for the weak. Blessings to you and your family❤
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I guess planned C-section is different. I was numb only from below my chest down and I did skin to skin immediately after she was out. My boyfriend and the nurses took turns holding my baby against my cheek and I breastfeed as soon as I was back in the postpartum room. The first 48hrs after the birth you only get colostrum which is your first milk, very important and it’s just literally drops.
Breastfeeding is hard, even for experienced moms like me (on my third baby now). Don’t get discouraged, keep trying, do your best but be at peace if you have to feed with formula. With that said, all these videos about increasing milk supply are just maybe helpful for your mindset. I watched tons but I realized these cookies, and tea and other stuff is just unnecessary. I got nervous when I figured I wasn’t making enough but after trying all kinds of products, I remembered it takes time, water and eating well to produce the necessary milk for my baby. Don’t stress yourself out. It will be close to a month before you start seeing an increase in your milk supply. Be patient with yourself and know your body will do it’s thing. ❤
Hey Ericka I had my son on 9/7 at Candler as well. I also had to get a C-section as they were afraid for me to push him out because he was 9 pounds and 7oz. Anywho my milk was noticably less compared to other times so what works for me was the same mother's milk tea, oatmeal, and the best is BREWERS YEAST! SPRINKLE IT ON your food and GIRL!!!! IM pumping like crazy!
Put the link here so I can try it!
Congratulations by the way!!!!
Willie willie
We're can I buy that yeast at?
Love this video. My baby is currently formula fed due to a milk/soy allergy, but im also pumping sp we can switch back immediately after the allergy is gone. Its a struggle but I'm so willing to make the sacrifice because I love breastfeeding. The bond is unreal.
I’m probably so late but CONGRATULATIONS!! I didn’t even know you were expecting but I’m so happy for you!! I’ve followed your wig content for years and now I’m excited to follow your mommy journey too!
I’m so glad that you are here to give information to a lot of new moms. I agree with you on the fact as long as the baby is being fed that’s all that matters. If a person can breastfeed it is a really good choice. I’ve breast-feed my daughter for a year and a half. And she didn’t even get a cold until she was about three or four years old. The benefits are amazing. It’s hard at first but you have to get that colostrum out , then the milk just comes. ❤️❤️
I truly enjoyed ur video. I'm currently 25 weeks today & I've been spending time looking for things to help me make sure I have a good milk supply for my baby girl. I didn't have any problems with producing milk with my two sons but I ended up giving them formula. When u said that u r gonna make ur own baby food that made me smile so much cause I'm gonna do that as well. Now I'm even more secure with my decisions on the things I want to do for my milk supply since I saw the things u use. Thanks for this video & ur input. Btw ur daughter is so precious & beautiful.
OOOMMMGGGGG SHE IS SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. Thank God for people like you who makes videos for us when we don't want to
I am defiantly going to comeback to this video when i got pregnant with my second baby! So much information and helpful as well, with my first I thought the milk will come naturally, didn’t know about these things and eventually give up on breastfeeding, i was depressed for a while because of it
Thank you so much for your effort
Yess I needed this video. I’ve been breastfeeding my baby for 9 months now & my supply is up/down. I’ve tried most of the items in the video. I’m going to try the liquid gold and pump Princess🥰 I definitely don’t want to stop breastfeeding, especially with how far I’ve come!
Where did u get that?? Can u pls tell me here she what are the product she used to increase for breast feeding
I had an emergency c section as well no epidural, and she had to stay on the NICU for 3 months.i could not pump at all!! I stayed giving her formula. She's so pretty 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Love you girl your a good mom you got this!!!!!!
What's the baby weight after birth
This video definitely helped me I ate some of the lactation cookies and drink a whole bottle of the coconut water and I woke up this morning very engorged 😊thank you I’ll definitely continue doing this🫶🏾
Keep sharing and giving great advice!!!Your motherhood journey is helping others know they aren't alone.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽💯💖💕❤👑
Sevyn is growing beautifully!!! 😍😍😍🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The baby 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I came here for breastfeeding tips but cannot even focus on what Erika is saying bc the babyyyyyyyy😩😍 y’all see her hairs and those pretty eyes she’s so adorable now I have baby fever , 😂😂 I know every women who ever breastfed felt her pain when she spilt some of the breast milk 💔😭 God bless her & her beautiful daughter 🙏🏽♥️
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! My husband and I are expecting twin baby girls in March, and I am praying that I as well can breastfeed. Thanks for the tips. ☺️💜
They are almost 1 year old! Congratz
The brownies works because chocolate helps produce milk, oats, cheese and being hydrated. Love the advices thanks so much for this video 😍
I like how real and honest you are I’m 7 months and I’m going to Breast feed . Thanks for the tips u just put me on so much thanks honey your daughter is beautiful ❤
I wish I had these tools when I had my two boys, it was so hard for me to produce milk & I became so overwhelmed I just gave up. The nurses were intimidating & forceful about breastfeeding but not supportive & caring. So glad you can help new moms & you look beautiful. 😍
Thank you ❤️🙏🏽
I am soooooooo in LOVE with your baby blessing!!! She is beautiful!!! And you my girl are STILL glowing!!! 💚💚
Mine was latching as soon as I had him (csection). Doc fearmongered me and convinced me to “supplement” with formula. When I did that, baby did not want to latch anymore. I am almost 4 months and pumping less than 1 oz for both. Not giving up. I am still producing SOME milk- which is HOPE. I WILL get my supply up. I will try some of your tips.
Thanks for this video !! Baby is 2 weeks and I’m producing 1oz every 2 to 3 hrs. I gotta get this milk supply up. I will be trying these options 😊.
Breast feeding is no joke. When your supply finally starts coming in that feeling is amazing to be able to provide. I accidentally dropped a fresh bottle I pumped once and I swear a had to breath before crying!!! It’s a lot but mamas you got this!
My son is 12 days old & I’ve been breastfeeding him. Everyday I wanna give up but I love the bond we have & Im so proud that I’m breastfeeding & not giving him formula.
Babies are so precious and they make all the hard work so worth it. Your little one is so beautiful momma. Congrats on the beautiful healthy baby.
I was about to give up on my pumping journey this weekend(baby won’t breastfeed anymore) but you inspired me to keep trying. I ordered a few things. Hope they work 🤞🏼
I also have an IVF baby that has to be born via c-section.
Ps she’s precious!
My son is 1mo old and breastfeeding is challenging mainly because my son is super greedy( I use formula as a supplement & he drinks an 8oz bottle with ease & doesn’t spit it up after burping lol) and I’m definitely not making enough for him. I felt bad as a mom because I want my baby fed & full. I appreciate you & this video so much!♥️
Just here to be informative, I mean no harm at all.. I breastfed 2 babies.. your body will definitely produce enough milk for him if you keep him at the breast, even if it seems like he just ate. Our breast milk is thinner than formula so babies digest it extremely quickly, resulting in them eating more. Your milk supply increases the more you put him to the breast, so if you supplement with formula those times your body feels like he doesn’t need the milk which will decrease your supply. Keep pumping and feeding as much as possible and eventually your body will know exactly how much your baby wants. You’re doing great 🤍
My baby almost two but I only watched this video to see the little angel😍😍😍 she’s your twin. I wish I had this video when my baby was born.
I just want to add that c section moms are able to do skin to skin right after they pull the baby out. I just had my son in June and they put him on my chest right after wiping him down and measuring him. Things are steadily changing so i just want to put that out there for someone else that may be a c section mom. Don’t be discouraged!
Yes that’s true but my experience was different. It was an emergency c section so she had to go inside an incubator and to the NICU
Thank you so much for making this video, you gave me hope. To not give up yet.
Im gunna try these suggestions first
🙏 thank you
“I just needed moreee, I needed more milk” 😂😂😂 I really felt that
Lactation cookie recipe available in lots pintesrest. Main ingredients are brewers yeast, flax meal, oats
Wow thank you for sharing your story. I love your perseverance and your baby is indeed a blessing. Cheers 🥂
Me and my baby had a traumatic experience! He was born 2 weeks ago and I pumped but only get a little I was discouraged b/c if you never had a emergency C-section you won’t get it! And the fact that this is my first baby and first birth experience I really don’t have motivation to pump! But this video gave me encouragement!!
Thank you soo much for this informative video. My baby girl is just a month old and she been on breast solely since birth. With me headed back to work in September and daddy and brothers wanting to bond with her more, it’s time to pump. Been searching all day for education and you are a blessing ❤ Thank you 😌
My son is 5 weeks old and I am trying to increase my milk supply and get him on breast milk exclusively! I had an emergency C-section (again, my water broke but labour didn’t start for a V-back)
Been having troubles with my milk production and postpartum after delivery.
Thank you for your tips and tricks!! You are doing amazing!
I picked up those cookies today and another box of tea! The cookies are amazing!
Are you me? Because exactly that's what happened.
I just had an emergency C section 12 days ago to save my daughter's life. She is 27 weeks and 1 day. I'm still not able to have much skin to skin with her as much. How ever she is growing quickly and needs more milk than I can produce. I'm so happy I ran across this video, I have hope again.
You can definitely produce the milk you have to start power pumping to get your body to keep the milk flowing. The more you remove milk the more you make
Omgoshh I needed to see this I’m literally coming back from target getting cookies and mommy milk cause I had an emergency c section,my baby is a month and 2 days now my milk supply has been dry and nOw she’s drinking more Milk..this video really made me excited I’ll be back in a couple of days tell you how it’s going thank you
Beautiful mom and baby! I made my own lactation cookies from scratch! natural is best. I feel you on the formula. my thing is why are they giving babies similac in the hospital after that quiet commercial for the similac lawsuit? that was my motivation as well. I barely slept. my daughter was in the NICU for a week. she is on oxygen and has pulmonary hypertension 😔
I decided since everything is being recalled because of poison or whatever they putting in food ...I decided to try to make everything from scratch and try natural stuff to increase milk supply. one thing I was told is that it's best to get up between 3a-6a to pump. It is difficult. my milk is slowly starting to increase! Get it girl🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m not alone! I went through this however I GAVE UP. Pregnant with second baby and ready to try again. I did have a breast reduction in 2015. I’m about to stock up now 🤣
Girl same! I’m due any day now. I’m so scared but I’m hoping it works out for me this time around.
I’m having a hard time with newborn BUT I haven’t gave up. I pump everyday and hopefully I can increase my supply . I drink lots of water and tried coconut water I’m going to supplements now
I was like you, I always new I wanted to breastfeed. I had my baby boy in September and I almost asked for formula because I thought my baby was not getting any milk from my breast because I was not seeing any milk. Also the midwife told me that my baby had lost weight but she said that was normal for babies that are only breast fed. My baby is 5 weeks and am seeing more milk and he has gained weight however breastfeeding is still not easy and am finding it hard to express. Being a new mum is not easy but I would not change it for anything in this world especially when you have gone through the lost of a child and miscarriage. I pray that God makes it easy to those who are in the same situation and are trying, God bless.
OMG I needed this video you don't know how many times I got discouraged because my milk supply was so low and see my baby when he was born he went straight to the NICU and then from there had to have emergency surgery so I wasn't around my baby on the first week he was born when. So when I finally saw my baby I made sure I pumped and I pumped and I pumped again and at first I can produce like maybe 50 ml. I'm still struggling now because he is still in the hospital and I still pump at night but waking up every 2 to 3 hours is so exhausting and I got discouraged because I didn't know what to do I tried. I drink the body armor and I have to admit sometimes I do forget to eat because my days be so full and the time just get away from me. But I'd still continue to pump even though it's very little very little but it means something.
3 weeks postpartum and breast feeding is key 2nd pregnancy 2nd C-section 😊
Greens are good for milk supply; smoothies, juices, soups and salads are very healthy and nourishing for both mother and baby. You have to begin practicing while pregnant and while breastfeeding and it wouldn't be so hard
Thank you boo I'm a first time mother as well this video was very helpful motherhood is not easy but it is so worth it I love her so much and adore my beautiful babygirl so much she makes me so happy babies are a blessing congrats boo ❤️🥰

Nothing has worked for me for all those supplements. What am learning is to eat well (constantly) and hydrate for your body to feel good and if you reduce stress; your body can make milk. Removing it (breastfeeding & pumping) often signals the body to make more. Good luck to us mamas!
This was really informative and relatable. Thank you for sharing! And baby girl is absolutely stunning.
Glad I’m looking at this because I’m breastfeeding as well. Just had an baby , 4 days old.
Thank you for the tips. I am a mother of 7 and this is the first baby I’ve tried to breastfeed. It’s a little overwhelming but I’m trying. 💜💜Lasha from Blessed and Beautifully Blended
My babies are 31,26,and 12 bites Lord where was these Mama's when I literally would cry for hours because I felt like I was somehow failing as a Mom because my body was not doing what it was created to do😭 Thanks for sharing your journey
UA-cam should’ve been invented long long ago!
Happy that I came across your video. My baby is currently 9 weeks and like you I have purchased quite a bit of the same things you did. I was starting to feel flustered and wasn’t sure if there was something wrong with me. lol But like you said it takes time finding out what works for you especially if it’s your first time and you don’t know much about breastfeeding to begin with. I have milk but like you said you need more because baby starts to get fussy. I’m definitely going to give the coconut water a try. Thanks again for sharing.❤️❤️❤️
Wow Ericka this is amazing and seven is tooo adorable. My EDD is 4/11, and i plan to breastfeed. You should go live one day so we can all chat. This insight is amazing and you are so thorough in your tutorials. I am grateful for all of your videos on the mom journey. Truly a blessing. ♥️
Thank you so much! I will go live one day

My baby boy is 5 days old. I really enjoyed this video and your advice. Thank you for sharing and being real.
You’re such a wonderful mother. Love your persistent love.
Great video thank you for all the information. You were very detailed and encouraging! I'm totally excited after watching your video, hope all is well with you and little one. God bless.
I love how real you are thank you sm for this vid god bless you and your little angle I’m due June 21st and I ordered my pump today and I’m trying to learn how to deal with pumping etc also like you I want to breastfeed bc of benefits and due to Covid it’s so hard to even get formula 😩so Ty sm for being real about how hard it is
That brand Legendary Milk is the truth!!!! Mommies if you feel it worked at first but then stopped you just need to up how many times you take it and you can mix it up too. I’m taking liquid gold, pumping princess and milkapalooza. So what I’m doing right now is I take two pumping princess and two milkapalooza (the milkapalooza is more of a nourishment for your milk). Then around noon to four hours later I take liquid gold and milkapalooza, same dose as before. Then I take the first round again about mid evening. Then again before bed. My baby will be two months on the 28th of March and I am exclusively breastfeeding.
That’s crazy… U braided My Hair a few times back when I was staying near Savannah. Good to see Ur well and still doing Ya thing. 🤙🏾💯
You had me laughing so hard with those ads! They will get you. This was really helpful and I love how interactive you are with baby. Congratulations!!❤
😭 it’s giving baby fever 😍😍😍
