I tried both of these things, oatmeal, brewers yeast, flaxseed meal (I put those 2 things on my oatmeal), and drinking a gallon of water/day. I also pumped after feedings and finally got some domperidone. I was only making about 15 oz/day. Now I pump 11 oz while I'm at work and he's satisfied nursing the rest of the time. So something helped.

I take both fenugreek & milk thistle everyday. I started off with 1 of each 3x a day. And gradually increased it as needed. I also drink Mother's Milk Tea 2 or 3 times a day. I did see a difference within 24 hours when I started the combo of fenugreek and milk thistle.

Re: Fenugreek or Mother's Milk Tea?
Fenugreek did nothing for me. I got a prescription for Reglan, and that helped a lot, but I got the flu at the end of it and my supply dipped again.
Now I'm taking Goat's Rue (liquid) and I am seeing a difference, but not as much as when I was on Reglan.
I have another Rx for Reglan, but don't want to go back on it too soon due to the possible side effects.
