28. Increasing Milk Supply with Kelly Kendall
Listen now
Description
We have Kelly Kendall back on the show today. She was our guest back on Episode 3: Hand Expression with Kelly Kendall so if you haven’t listened to that episode, be sure to go back and check that out. Today we are talking about a not very complicated topic that moms seem to overcomplicate. And that is increasing milk supply. Kelly is a nurse, an IBCLC, the face behind the Instagram account @thebalancedboob, and has a feeding course called Boob School. She and I met nearly four years ago and have been friends ever since. She is a knowledge of information and understands that when it comes to increasing your supply, it’s really the foundations that matter. We discuss what a normal amount of breast milk  in one session is - whether you're pumping or breastfeeding. Kelly shares tips like changing the time of day (or night rather in this situation) that you are pumping, making sure you are using the right pump for you, eating a well balanced diet, and whether or not supplemental things like cookies and teas really work to increase your supply. One thing we want you to remember is that if you are having a bad pump session or baby doesn’t seem to be latching well at the moment, it’s okay to end your session and come back to it when you are less stressed. Your body knows when it is under increased pressure and won’t produce as much milk in those types of situations. So, like I always say, sit back, relax, and let’s have a let down!
