How to Increase Milk Supply With MilkWorks IR+ and Morning Power Pumping
If your milk supply has dipped and you’re panicking a little, breathe mama, you didn’t do anything wrong. Milk supply changes are super common, and the good news is that a simple combo of MilkWorks IR+ and one consistent morning power-pumping session can make a real difference fast. In this guide I break down exactly how to increase milk supply naturally, when to use MilkWorks IR+, and why morning power pumping is one of the most effective, IBCLC-approved ways to boost production without stressing your body out.
Feeling Like Your Milk Supply Suddenly Dropped? You’re Not Alone.
If you’re doing all the things and still not seeing the output you expected, you’re not alone. I see this all the time with my clients. The good news: most milk supply dips are fixable with the right support.
Two simple strategies I recommend again and again are:
• MilkWorks IR+
• One intentional morning power-pumping session
Together, these support both the inside (your hormones) and the outside (your stimulation) of your milk-production system.
MilkWorks IR+: Why I Recommend It
MilkWorks IR+ is my go-to when I suspect a hormonal or metabolic reason behind a supply dip. You may benefit from it if you have:
• PCOS
• Insulin resistance
• Irregular cycles
• A supply drop even though your routine didn’t change
What’s inside MilkWorks IR+:
• Myo-inositol
• D-chiro inositol
• Moringa
• Beta-glucans
This blend helps support blood sugar balance and the hormonal pathways that influence prolactin and oxytocin. It’s not an instant fix, but when your body needs that internal support, it can make a noticeable difference. Most clients take it consistently for about a week before evaluating changes.
The Morning Power Pumping Routine
Supplements only work well when paired with consistent breast emptying. Power pumping is one of the most effective ways to do that.
Morning is the best time because:
• Prolactin levels are naturally higher
• You’re usually less stressed
• Output is often better
The simple 60-minute routine:
Pump 20 minutes → Rest 10 → Pump 10 → Rest 10 → Pump 10
This pattern mimics cluster feeding and signals your body to boost production. Most parents see changes around days 3–7.
Make it cozy: warm drink, heat pack on your chest, your favorite show — whatever helps you relax.
Extra Tips I Always Give My Clients
• Make sure your flange size is correct
• Pumping shouldn’t hurt — suction should feel like a tug, not a pinch
• Warmth + breast massage can improve output more than you’d expect
• Don’t underestimate skin-to-skin and night feeds
When to Reach Out for Help
If you try these and still feel like something’s off, maybe your baby’s latch doesn’t feel deep enough, you’re getting clogs, or your output doesn’t match your effort, it’s time for a lactation visit. I’ll check latch, transfer, flange sizing, pump settings, and make sure nothing structural is being missed.
You’re Not Failing , Your Body Just Needs Support
Most supply dips are temporary and very fixable. A few small shifts can make a big difference, and your body is almost always more capable than you think.
