Clicky: What worked the best to increase your supply?

Just curious! Going back to work next Friday- my supply took a nosedive went I went back with DS1. It's very stressful to find time to pump at my job! I'm going to try my best again though!

    I have twins so this may be skewed, but bringing them to the breast every two hours tripled my supply in 72 hours. I now leak if they don't eat within three hours of their last feed.

    I voted for other...I have oversupply and noticed it gets even worse when I drink beer - but I only drink wheat beer and it sure does it for me!

    Not power pumping, but just adding a daily pumping session. Fenugreek and blessed thistle have helped me a little, but adding a pumping session is the best solution.

    I voted other. Domperidone was the only thing that worked for me and I tried everthing on your list.

    Never heard of this...is it prescription only?

    Ah! I always forget about this one! Is it OTC or rx?

    I have a question for all of you that said Domperidone, how did you get a prescription? Do you go see your OBGYN? Or family doctor? I have been BF for 7 months, and AF showed up around 5 months since then my supply has been nothing (thankfully I have a great stash), but even that is becoming very low. I really want to make it 12 months and the mother milk tea, fenugreek, extra water, rest, etc... really isn't helping.

     

    thanks

    The website for domperidone is

    https://www.inhousepharmacy.biz/general/motilium.html

    You cannot get it in the US, your OB will usually only be able to prescribe reglan which has a lot of side effects. It is an OTC drug in Canada and Europe.

    I haven't taken it but I've seen so many posts on it, I know where to get it :)
