Dry me up!

kelly422 · February 2014

Clearly dropping pump sessions and decreasing pump times is doing nothing to slow down my supply but is just giving me clogs. I'm a milk machine and it needs to stop!

Ordered no more milk tea, should get here today. New prescription called in for regular BCP instead of the mini pill. Got some cabbage leaves. Not a fan of Sudafed so not going that route. What else can you think of?!?!

Get pregnant, get a cold, stress out a lot and don't drink water. Very healthy, right?

Sorry those are the things that drop my supply so that's all I can think of!

Lick some park benches, eat some bad meat, stop eating/drinking

Well I've been sick with everything from the flu to URIs to stomach bugs (6 times since August!) and that hasn't helped!

@steamboat1679 I didn't know caffeine reduced supply? I hate coffee but maybe I can choke down some if that's the case!

not sure about caffine dropping supply... I drink it everyday and I make milk like a mad woman still.

Steamboat1679 said: @kelly422 it might not, but it is dehydrating right? Or is that urban legend?

Ahh, that makes more sense. My luck if I cut out water and tried to dehydrate myself, I'd end up with kidney stones (again). Good times

Getting a stomach bug and barely eating/drinking anything for two days dried me up really well

This link has a lot of helpful info:

I did get some cabbage leaves - plan on trying them tonight after I get home from work.

Thanks for the advice, ladies! I'll check out the Kellymom link.

Peppermint and sage.

I was told wearing a tight sports bra will help decrease supply as well.

Murphie82 · February 2014

I heard mint/peppermint can have an effect on supply.

whitney2302 · February 2014

Cabbage leaves really helped me but I didn't produce a lot of milk either, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

Regular BCP did it for me after about a month.

Peppermint.

Candy canes!

Peppermint essential oil (diluted) applied to the breast 2-3x a day avoiding the nipple area.

How diluted?

@nykkolaughs Thank you!

@kelly422 in a carrier oil, like olive oil, coconut oil, etc. a couple drops essential oil to a teaspoon of carrier. Peppermint can burn if applied directly.

Thank you @nykkolaughs, I just saw that!
