low milk supply — Hope & Healthy Alternatives For Moms Who Couldn't Breastfeed

It was sometime around 3:00pm, if I’m remembering right, and we were sitting down to feed again. Those early months are still hazy, but I’m almost sure it was afternoon because the sun shined warm and golden through the nursery window. My baby was rooting and beginning to fuss, and I was dreading the next hour and a half…I kept thinking (and being told) that we would overcome our breastfeeding challenges…

When You Can’t Breastfeed, But You Tried So Hard

I have to admit that our time those first few months was clouded by trying so hard to breastfeed. When I look back, the prevailing question is not, Did I try hard enough? (although that certainly surfaces), but rather, Did I miss other things because I was so consumed by this? My baby didn’t get much milk from me, but he did get my overwhelming, unconditional love day after day…

Are There Lactation Meds For Moms Who Don’t Produce Enough Milk?

Instead of a treatment option, we are left with a list of 30 supplements, like brewer’s yeast and fenugreek, which still don’t directly increase prolactin levels, and power pumping. I hate this answer because I don’t want to take the cynical view, but it’s simple…

Alternatives to Breastfeeding: Options For When You Can't Breastfeed

It’s a disheartening experience when you are unable to breastfeed your baby for one reason or another. I tried with my son for 14 weeks, but with little improvement on poor latching, chronic acid reflux, and super low milk supply, we were unable to make breastfeeding work. When we moved on to the next big ordeal - okay, now what’s the next best thing I can feed my baby?…

The Mom's Nutrient Guide To Infant Formula

Being a mom is the most vulnerable and scary role I’ve ever had. In my head, I entertain everything from irrational fears like, “Will letting him cry too long cause him to have an anxiety disorder?” to the everyday concerns of, “If he misses his nap today, how much are we going to pay for it tonight?”
