How to Increase Breast Milk Supply When Pumping?

For many new mums, pumping breast milk is an essential part of their feeding journey. Whether you’re returning to work, managing supply issues, or simply building a freezer stash, the challenge often comes down to one key question: how to increase breast milk supply when pumping?

The good news is that supply can often be improved with the right strategies and the right tools. At Eonian Care, we’re here to support you with evidence-based tips and a reliable partner in your pumping routine: the Smart Double Electric Breast Pump.

Understanding Milk Supply: The Supply and Demand Principle

Breast milk production works on a simple rule: the more milk removed, the more your body produces. Every time you nurse or pump effectively, you send a signal to your body to keep up with your baby’s needs.

This means that frequency, efficiency, and comfort all matter when you’re trying to increase supply. If your body consistently receives the message that milk is needed, production usually follows.

Proven Strategies to Boost Milk Supply When Pumping

1. Pump Frequently and Consistently

Aim to pump every 2–3 hours, including at least once overnight when milk-making hormones peak. Consistency helps establish and maintain your supply.

Tip: Incorporate power pumping sessions—pumping in intervals (e.g., 20 minutes on, 10 minutes off, repeated for an hour). This mimics cluster feeding and can encourage your body to produce more milk.

2. Choose a Double Electric Pump

Double pumping both breasts at the same time is proven to stimulate more milk and save time. It increases the release of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production.

The Eonian Care Smart Double Electric Breast Pump is designed for exactly this—providing efficient, hospital-grade pumping power while keeping you comfortable.

3. Use Hands-On Pumping

Massage your breasts before and during pumping. Gently compressing the breast while the pump works helps stimulate additional let-downs and ensures thorough milk removal.

When paired with a hands-free pumping bra and a quiet, portable pump like Eonian Care’s, this technique becomes even easier to integrate into your routine.

4. Create a Relaxing Environment

Stress can reduce oxytocin—the hormone that triggers let-down. Try to pump in a calm, private space where you feel comfortable. Keeping water, snacks, and your baby’s photo nearby can also help encourage milk flow.

The ultra-quiet design of the Eonian Care pump makes it easier to relax, even during night sessions or in shared spaces.

5. Support Your Body with Good Nutrition and Hydration

Staying well hydrated and nourished makes a difference. Foods like oatmeal, almonds, spinach, and fennel are commonly recommended for breastfeeding mums. While the evidence varies, they can be a healthy addition to your diet.

6. Don’t Skip Skin-to-Skin Time

Holding your baby close against your chest encourages your body to release oxytocin and prolactin, both of which support milk production. Even short sessions of skin-to-skin contact before pumping can improve results.

7. Seek Professional Support if Needed

If you’ve tried these strategies and still struggle with supply, a lactation consultant can help identify underlying issues such as latch problems, hormonal imbalances, or medical concerns. Sometimes medications or supplements may be suggested under professional guidance.
