Supply
Currently doing all the exercises to make space in babies mouth. Having to exclusively pump , but my milk supply feels like it’s dwindling. Using the Eufy S1 and doing 5/6 sessions a day for around 20/30 minutes and suffering with nipple thrush. Any ideas on how to maintain and increase supply whilst little one is bottle feeding?

Hi lovely, you could slot in a power pump (10 mins off, 10 mins on) once per day. Make sure you’re expressing once during the night and eating enough too. Check the flange fit and you can also potentially look at herbal supplements like Moringa: https://short.do/857xkR https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/books/NBK501899/
Help!
Daughter had her tongue tie snipped on day 5, but she is now 9 weeks and 3 days and I still can’t get her to latch on the breast :( Exclusively pumping and seeing cranial osteopaths, lactation consultants and breast feeding specialists as she’s interested and still trying to breastfeed, but just can’t seem latch or coordinate latching and sucking (even with a nipple shield). Her top lip is curled in when she feeds on the bottle and my health visitor and breastfeeding specialist have suggested she might also have a lip tie. Is this something milk matters deal with and that would have been picked up when you did the assessment? Any advice as to how we can move forward with breastfeeding would be really appreciated! Xx

Hi Kathryn, so sorry I've only just seen this, and I'm really sorry you're still struggling. Nine weeks of exclusive pumping is brutal! At your first post-treatment check in July there was some tightening at the back, but we haven't seen you since so had no idea you were stuck :( Definitely book in for a follow-up and we can look at the big picture. I've linked a couple of my articles on lip tie below so you can read up in the meantime http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2015/01/upper-lip-tie-fall-guy.html And http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2017/01/upper-lip-tie-treatment-in-infants.html
Upping the teat flow
Just hoping for some advice. My daughter has had her tongue tie and there’s massive improvement. However she doesn’t have the strongest suck (as per osteopath findings) would it be something to consider in increasing the teat flow? Just wondered if that would help her as she doesn’t want to take more oz but at times struggled with fatigue around it

Hey, so why is the suck still weak and how long before it improves? You could try a faster flow, however some babies who are disorganised can’t handle more liquid in their mouth - so it’s really a suck it and see, as it were..
Tongue tie release 8 week old
Hello! Tongue tie snipped yesterday, finding it impossible to get under baby’s tongue to stretch the area! Any tips? He just wants to chomp on my fingers along his gum, making the recommended stretches impossible!

Hi there, have you tried touching the back of gums each side (where their back teeth will come in) and scooping under there rather than under from the front?

@Soraya Waldron hey, I’d say it’s worth trying something without FOS - typically Hipp or little steps so there’s less bits to react to x
