Reestablishing milk supply

Anyone doing this or have done this? Any tips?

I've heard to do this you need to pump around the clock every two hours until supply is established.

Nurse at the breast, if you must give formula or donor milk use an SNS. Lots of pumping. The more stimulation the better.

I would also suggest fenugreek, lactation tea and/or lactation cookies. I EP and I use both tea and cookies (ha, that sounds so dainty). I find when I don't eat/drink them regularly my supply suffers. (EP)

I swear by this formula, so much that I say don't waste your time with anything else (suppliment-wise). I only need to take 1 a day (dose says 3 xs daily) for a few days to get things flowing again when keeping up with LO's growth spurts. Fuck the teas. Ain't nobody got time for that! (Seriously, this mama has no time to be sippin' tea). I 2nd the Gatorade as well.

I get it at a local health food shop but you could probably source it on the internet.

Gatorade helps me too. I used to chug a water before pumping, but I get more if a chug Gatorade instead.

I think I'm going to look into that supplement knotty-girl. My lc recommended go lacta but it's so expensive and I've already put so much money into bf and pumping accessories that didn't work I'm scared to waste more.
