Pitiful supply of breastmilk. Help!

[sherwes]

I read that you can acheive let down more easily when pumping if you look at a photo of your baby. So, when I pumped, I used to stroke a photo of my baby. I realise that this makes me sound slightly mad but it worked!! After a while I actually made a little flip book of 6 or photos so I could choose which one to use as my "pumping aid" depending on my mood...

I used to pump in front of the PC where I have a slideshow of my baby's photos running on the screen. Sometimes, I'd play mini videos that I'd made of the baby; this way I could hear, as well as see, the baby... and doing that really helped!

this makes me sound slightly mad but it worked!!

Haha, we all do what we feel we need to do to get the milk going!
