PCOS

Who had success with nursing while having PCOS? I thought nursing was going well until at 4wks I had my son weighed and he was 6oz under his birth weight. We now have him 2oz under at 5 wks but after meeting with a lactation consultant and doing weigh ins before and after a feeding we are finding he isn't getting much at all. When pumping I don't get quite 2oz total in about 20 min. Anyone have any luck with any tricks?

    I have PCOS as well, I have been eating oatmeal and flax seed, and made lactation cookies with brewers yeast to help with supply. Are you taking any supplements to help with supply?

    I have PCOS and had trouble breastfeeding my son. I'm now pregnant with my second child and have learned more about ways to increase my supply. The first go round was also very difficult because no one in my family had ever breastfed.
