How I Increased My Milk Supply Without Pumping Every Two Hours
May 26, 2025
If you're a breastfeeding mom struggling with low milk supply, you’ve probably heard the golden rule:
“Pump every two hours or your breast milk supply will dry up.”
I followed that rule like gospel.
⏰ I set timers.
💤 I skipped sleep.
😭 I cried through clogged ducts, mastitis scares, and pure exhaustion.
I thought I had to work harder to make more milk.
But what I truly needed was something else entirely: peace.
When I Let Go of the Rules, My Milk Supply Increased
One day, I made a decision that felt radical — almost rebellious.
I stopped pumping every two hours.
Instead, I did something I’d never tried before: I trusted my body.
I created a rhythm that honored my energy, my needs, and my nervous system.
🌿 I chose times to pump that allowed for more sleep and less stress
🌿 I paused to breathe, connect with my baby, and show up with presence instead of panic
🌿 I allowed myself to be fully human—not a milk machine
And then... something amazing happened:
My breast milk supply increased.
The Link Between Stress and Low Milk Supply
For so long, I thought if I just pumped more, slept less, and tried harder, I'd finally make enough milk.
But all that obsessive pumping pushed my body into survival mode.
When we're stressed, cortisol (our stress hormone) spikes.
And when cortisol is high, breast milk production can drop.

Your nervous system matters.
It’s not just your breasts that make milk—it’s your whole body working together in harmony.
Breastfeeding Is Not Just Physical—It’s Emotional and Mental Too
No one tells you this when they hand you a breast pump:
Your milk production isn’t just mechanical. It's mental. Emotional. Even spiritual.
If you’re exhausted from trying to “fix” your low milk supply, please hear this:
- Your body is not broken
- You don’t need more discipline—you need more alignment
- You can breastfeed without suffering

When I began listening to my body instead of forcing strict routines, I created safety for my system.
When I softened my approach, my body responded with more milk.
Not because I pushed harder, but because I supported myself with intention.
