How We Help You Increase Milk Supply—With Care, Not Pressure

Low milk supply can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re doing everything you can and still feel like it’s not enough. At Feed and Thrive, we take a gentle, informed approach to support. This session is designed to give you clarity—not just more things to try.

We start by listening. Together, we’ll explore your feeding history, your baby’s behaviors, and any underlying factors that could be contributing to low production. This might include latch and positioning, feeding frequency, pumping routines, or possible medical issues. Maxine brings years of nursing experience and IBCLC training to guide this process with both skill and heart.

Once we understand what’s going on, we build a practical plan—one that fits your life and your goals. Whether that means improving milk transfer at the breast, supplementing while protecting your supply, or introducing pumping in a sustainable way, you’ll walk away with strategies that feel realistic and supportive.

You don’t have to go through this guessing alone. With compassionate guidance and evidence-based care, you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Not always. Many parents are able to increase supply with the right support. Even small improvements can make a big difference—emotionally and nutritionally. And even if full supply isn’t possible, any amount of breast milk you feed to your infant for as long as you are able to makes a difference to their health.

Often, yes. Increasing stimulation (breastfeeding or pumping), improving latch, and adjusting feeding routines can go a long way. Herbal supplements and medications are sometimes useful, but they’re not the first step—we always focus on the basics first and tailor everything to your comfort and values.

There are many possible reasons—some physical, some situational. These include:

  • Infrequent feeding or pumping
  • Poor latch or tongue tie
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Birth interventions or medical complications
  • No access to the right support at the right time
  • Separation from baby
  • Breast hypoplasia- underdevelopment of breast tissue
    We’ll explore these together and figure out what’s affecting your body and your baby.
