Ive been producing tiny drops for the first time after some semi regular suckling sessions and some massaging. Super exciting (and a little weird given I’ve never done anything like this and never had kids). Any insight on how long it generally takes from here to produce more than a drop? Are tens units or supplements more effective in your opinion? Comments from those who have successfully lactated most appreciated please
I just got an advice on tens unit and will be using it when it arrives tomorrow. I am only doing massage/hand expressions and pumping, but I am not producing much yet. It can take many weeks to see increase in milk supply. I have gave up 3 times before, so this is my 4th try! I only have tiny drops coming out so far, long way to go for me, too.
Tens, regular massage and natural supplements can certainly help turn a few drops into a more regular amount.
There’s a whole host of non prescription supplements that will, in most cases help build supply. Having said that everyone is different so timescales are difficult if not impossible to predict.
I have previously published a long list of natural supplements on the site. Please feel free to PM me if you need help.Definitely get a TENS!!! I love mine. It’s just a cheap $30 one from Amazon. The sensation is awesome, I was scared it’d hurt lol. It seems to be helping me but I’m not 100% sure yet.
@jackb She did say, “comments from those who have successfully lactated”. Have you?
@Effervescent1 We get your point, but you failed to include the last three words in your quote. What she *actually* said is, “Comments from those who have successfully lactated most appreciated please“
I am just trying again for the second time and I am getting a few little drops this excites my husband and I so much I can’t wait to feel my breasts full.
