@thelatchlink: If a lactation consultant told you to eat ice cream, listen to her. Low supply usually comes down to one thing moms overlook: not eating enough. 1. Stop relying on extra pump sessions, water-chugging, or lactation cookies if you're running low on calories. 2. Notice how under-eating works: your body pulls back on milk supply before anything else. Your baby's ounces drop before you even notice you skipped a real meal. 3. Check whether you actually ate today before you add another pump session or supplement. 4. Stop running off coffee and adrenaline. Add real food you'll actually eat without thinking about it. 5. Eat a couple of scoops of ice cream when you need fast calories, and pair it with protein when you can. 6. Don't cut calories trying to eat clean while breastfeeding. When you're eating enough, your supply steadies out and your stress around pumping drops. 🤍 Follow for more tips 🤍 #breastfeedingtips #lactationsupport #milksupply #newmomtips #ibclc
