My doctor said to drink a lot of milk to increase supply...

Will this actually work or is it an old wives tale? She said to do this along with drinking lots of water (which I already know and do.)

I haven't heard that, tho you do need calcium and fluids to help your supply!

It's for the calcium - but you can get it in other ways.  I have a pretty good supply but I don't drink milk (I do eat dairy - I just don't drink milk).

That is ridiculous. Do cows need to drink milk to make milk?? NO. Drink water...that's all you need.

 

...unless of course you particularly LIKE milk...in which case have at it.

OWT.  My mom thought this too, but my LC set her straight.

My best advice to you, drink 100oz of water a day. I get sick of water and drink Gatorade G2 (40 calories, less sugar). Keep hydrated!
