Low Milk Supply- Digging a little deeper...

Low Milk Supply: Digging a little deeper...

Unfortunately, I have met with many families recently struggling with low milk supply. I always start with back to basics...milk removal 8+ times per 24 hrs by baby and/or pump, maybe an herbal supplement for a boost. But many families end up needing to dig a little deeper, checking in with their providers about bloodwork or possible medications. A few of the conditions that come up that may require some extra TLC are things like anemia, thyroid issues, PCOS, insulin resistance, breast surgeries etc. Every family and every journey is different, and while some do make decisions to combo feed, or switch completely to donor milk or formula (for very valid personal reasons!!) please know that we can always dig a little deeper if desired!
