exclusively pumping round 2


I just had daughter #2 (5 weeks early) 4 weeks ago but breast feeding is to hard she does not open her mouth wide enough to breast feed. so I need to start pumping exclusively because I want her to get my milk. so here I go, a little low on breast milk, and need to get up my supply , I average about 20 ounces a day, so every web site I looked up I need to pump 25 to 35 ounces a day.


So my plan is :

fenugreek 4 capsules 3 times a day

blessed thistle 2 capsules 3 times a day

at least drink 64 ounces of water a day

two large bowls of oatmeal a day

and pump at least 10 times a day (every 2 hours)

and of course eat a balanced diet
