. Switch feeding
Switch feeding, where you alternate back and forth between breasts at the same feed, can encourage a sleepy baby to suck more vigorously for a longer period of time. (Try to encourage her to stay awake by burping her or changing her diaper between sides.)
You will know when to change sides by observing your baby's feeding pattern. When the intensity of her suck and swallow decreases, first try breast compression, then switch her to your other breast and encourage her to nurse actively again. When her sucking once again slows, switch back again and so on, until you find she can no longer be encouraged to continue.
7. Top-up feeding
The more frequently your breasts are emptied the more milk will be produced. Wait for 20 or 30 minutes after breastfeeding and then offer another quick little 'top-up' breast feed.
8. Pumping
The principle behind pumping is to place a greater demand on your breasts to encourage them to produce more milk. A well latched-on baby is more effective at emptying and stimulating your breasts to produce more milk than any breast pump, so if your baby is willing to nurse, this is preferable to pumping.
As soon as possible after day time breastfeeds, pump for 5 to 10 minutes on each breast. Pumping after night time breastfeeds would also be beneficial but this needs to be weighed against the benefit of you getting as much sleep as possible, which will also positively improve your milk supply. Don't be concerned that "nothing is coming out" when you pump. Provided you can feel the suction from the pump it's stimulating your breast to produce more milk.
If you have a dual pump, pumping both breasts at the same time is often more effective at stimulating increased production than pumping from one breast at a time.
