Something I never really thought about until we were in deep…

It’s not that you’re not nursing or pumping enough.

It’s that your body may not have enough to work with.

Milk supply doesn’t respond to effort alone.
It responds to resources too.

After pregnancy and birth, most moms are depleted — calories, protein, fats, minerals.
And when the body is under-fueled, it goes into conservation mode.

Milk production isn’t a survival function.

So even with frequent removal, supply can stall if your body is running on empty.

I was doing everything— pumping constantly, tracking sessions — and still barely getting 2 ounces.

Not because my body failed…
but because it was exhausted and depleted.

If you’re stuck wondering why your supply isn’t budging, this might be the missing piece no one explained.

I put everything that helped me — the nutrition, strategy, and lactation-supporting foundations — in one place so you don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Drinking the drinks, eating the snacks, saving all the posts —

and still staring at my pump output wondering what the heck I was doing wrong.

🔥What I learned is that supporting milk supply isn’t about finding the perfect food.

It’s about consistently fueling your body so it can do what it’s already trying to do.

That shift changed everything for me.
Less guessing. Less panic. More confidence that I was doing what my body needed.

When milk supply feels wonky, it’s rarely about effort —

📌A few things most moms aren’t told early on:

✨ Milk production is energy-intensive. If you’re under-eating, your body will prioritize survival over supply.

✨Skipped meals + low protein can quietly work against supply, even if everything else feels right

✨There is no single magic food. Supporting supply comes from patterns, not products.

This was one of the missing pieces for me while triple feeding.

From zero desire to have kids…

To wanting a house full!🤣

Thank you Jesus for our healthy babies!

2016…you were good to us.

But what came later has been even better.

There’s tons more I could say about everything that’s happened. But you get the idea 😊

What started our season of parenthood in the darkest days of the unknown(hello ppd) turned into innumerable lessons and ways that the Lord has shown himself faithful over and over.

I prayed through these pregnancies and pp seasons like I had never prayed before. There was desperation, but also expectancy.

I know breastfeeding isn’t a big deal to some, but it is to others. And being unable to do that can lead to some serious issues. It was definitely my rock bottom, but I didn’t know the signs/symptoms. Neither did my husband. This was new territory.

Looking back, I know my trigger was the inability to breastfeed and produce enough milk for my baby.

That’s why was born. It’s why I focus on encouraging moms to prepare in every way before baby arrives. It can change the game.

I used to think milk supply was only about demand — nurse more, pump more, try harder.

🔥But what I didn’t understand at first is that milk production is energy-dependent.

Breast milk is made from your body—your body needs enough calories, protein, fats, and key nutrients to physically produce milk.

When you’re under-eating, skipping meals, or running on caffeine and stress, your body shifts into conservation mode.

Milk production isn’t essential for survival — so even with frequent nursing or pumping, supply can stall or feel inconsistent.

This explains why so many moms are:
✨ feeding or pumping often
✨ doing “all the right things”
✨ and still seeing low or unpredictable output

Once I started consistently fueling my body — real meals, enough calories, and balanced nutrients — my supply became more stable.

Not overnight.
Not magically.

In fact, I didn’t even get this out until my second pregnancy.

But my supply was reliable. I wasn’t packing formula bottles ”just in case”.

That’s why this works:
✔️ It gives your body the raw materials to make milk
✔️ It supports hormones involved in lactation
✔️ It prevents the constant dips that come from under-fueling

This isn’t about eating one special food.
It’s about removing a very real bottleneck that keeps supply from responding to demand.

I put everything I used and learned in one place so moms who are stuck in that cycle can finally understand why their supply feels off — and how to support it. 🤍
