Low supply is rarely about trying harder.
It’s usually about missing information.
Most moms are told:
• feed every 2–3 hours
• drink more water
• eat oats
• pump more
But almost no one explains how milk production actually works.
Milk supply is driven by:
👉 frequent, effective milk removal
👉 enough calories + protein to support production
👉 hormonal signals (especially at night)
👉 reducing pain, stress, and inflammation
When one of those pieces is missing, supply struggles — even when you’re already doing everything.
That was me as a first-time mom.
Exhausted. Triple feeding. Obsessing over ounces.
And no one ever told me what my body actually needed.
Once I learned how to support milk production instead of fighting it, everything changed.
✨ If this resonates, save it.
👇 Comment MILK if you want the resources that helped me go from triple feeding to confidently breastfeeding.
