How to Increase Your Breast Milk Supply Fast
Where all my lactating Mama’s at??
I hope that this helps you and that you continue your pumping journey, it will be over before you know it. I hope that the content of this article does not make any mama’s out there feel upset about their own milk and the way that they feed their baby(s). As long as you are taking care of your baby, you da boss!
I had one bag of milk…that’s right, one bag of milk before I started this. I guess I’ll be annoying and mention the number one thing you’ve probably heard…

This literally tastes like if you were to make oatmeal and then drink the water used in the oatmeal, that actually sounds nasty. But it’s not that bad! I saw a pretty big increase in my supply after drinking this. You can actually find this on the granola isle in the grocery stores, despite (me) believing this was next to soy milk or something.
Oatmeal (because you might as well)
Oatmeal is tasty, mainly because I add a lot of butter, but that’s just me. If you find it nasty, add more butter. Plant based butter is supposed to be better for you, but who really knows…I use the avocado oil butter. Adding granola on top or fruit makes it better too.
Lactation Cookies
Apparently there is no proof that these actually work, but they taste really good! These are usually in the baby isles. In a spot you wouldn’t expect.
Pump Like You’ve Never Done It Before
This is the main technique that worked, I believe. This works faster (in my opinion) when you have two pumps instead of just one. So I did this for two days straight. I ended up doing it longer just because I like to see…
