How can i produce more breastmilk?
I started breastfeeding as soon as my baby was born. A week after she was born I noticed she wasnt having dirty diapers. I had to stop breastfeeding 9 days after giving birth because doctor said she was constipated due to tylenol with codein I was taking for my c section pain.
I was still having plenty of pain so I stopped breastfeeding for 3 days.
I also have IBS which causes my intestines to swell and this wasnt allowing my incision to heal properly so doctor prescribed dicyclomine…I took this for 4 days…then I found out this medicine dries up your milk supply. I immediately stopped the meds, I did however notice everytime I pumped less and less milk would come out.
Now it is still the same thing.
No longer taking any meds for a week now, Im breastfeeding but have to supplement with formula because baby doesnt get full, I pumped every chance I get but notice less milk each time.
Is it possible to increase my milk supply after all this?
If so, how?
I really want to breastfeed more than formula feed.
Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.
