Boosting milk supply

BugLuv

My milk has taken a dive since I got a horrible infection and have been on antibiotics.  Does Fenugreek or these other things really work?  Please let me know!  Thanks!

Hey Bug-

My lactation consultant told me that if I am worried about my milk supply that Ovaltine will boost it.  I know it sounds weird, but I am going to pick some up.

Fenugreek didn't work for me when my first son was born but I know it does for some people.

The ONLY non prescription things that help my supply are: double pumping for 10 minutes after EVERY feeding for 2 or 3 days and increasing my water intake (to at least 100 oz per 24 hours).

Fenugreek, Mother's milk tea, nor Reglan worked for me. My supply was never very much, as much as I'd tried. I was so bummed that nothing worked for me. Hopefully something will work for you! Good luck!

My LC said BEER! LOL!!

Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle helped me, or it may have just been all the pumping after a feed. Don't know for sure, but it's worth a try!
