So sad...Re: milk production

I had my first PP AF this week. My milk supply is rapidly dwindling. I started my fenugreek again today, so I really hope that helps. I'm not sure if it will get better or not :-(. I really want to give DS breast milk through the winter.

    Have you tried eating oatmeal?  It really boosted my supply.

    Also, there is More Milk Plus from Motherlove that works wonders but it is a wee bit pricey at $25 a bottle.

    Have you looked on the Kellymom.com website for suggests too?

    I hope your supply picks up for you and quickly too.

    I have done all of this in the past, but I got my supply up, so I stopped. Now with AF, it's dropping again. I might take my more milk plus with my fenugreek and see what happens. It also doesn't help that I have worked 5 12 hour shifts in the past 6 days...

    Ohhh my!  I am so sorry that your supply is suffering from it and AF.  I hope it turns around for you.  I know how troubling it is when it starts to dwindle.

    In addition to the fenugreek, I just heard about mother's milk tea in our BF support class. Good luck with getting your supply up, just keep positive thoughts!

    I had to deal with this same problem every time af would come my milk supply would cut in half. I used fenugreek, ate oatmeal, would pump more often, and I would also drink one guinness beer before bed. Kellys mom is a great help

    I hope your able to keep your supply threw the winter
