Fenugreek? teas? jumping up and down? What worked for you?

Nursing vacation... spend an entire day or two nursing as often as possible with as much skin-to-skin as possible. The whole day in bed watching movies topless while snuggling the baby is ideal.

In the early weeks... baby to breast often, whether she was hungry or not and pumping after every feeding for a couple weeks.

Pumping and nursing as often as possible. Fenugreek (buy bulk spice, make tea with a tablespoon per cup. it's decent hot or as an iced tea) increased my supply by a few ounces. Drink water water water.

I've also tried goat's rue and shatavari, which seemed to help in the early days. others have recommended blessed thistle, but no personal experience with this.

Absolutely nothing worked for me.

And I don't say to be discouraging, it's an uncommon problem, but I felt like the only person in the world to have it happen to them, so on the off chance you're in the same boat as me...don't feel alone.
