Mother’s Milk Tea?

I'd stop taking fenugreek. That's known to decrease supply in about half of women. It works too well for me so I get clogs but for others it starts to dry them up.

Were you measured for your flanges? Are you EP or are you nursing as well? Because for the first few weeks babies cluster feed as they're trying to tell your body what their milk needs are.

I had used the mother's milk tea. Usually took about an hour to kick in, but making sure you have enough water especially when drinking that tea is important. It did increase enough for me personally. I usually used it when my period returned, my supply always seemed to drop then.

I take supplements called “pumping moms” but stork I take 4 a day but u can take up to 6. They have seemed to help a lot. Also flange size, pumping every 2-3 hours, 16 cups of water a day, and power pumping when needed. It’s a job but u got this don’t give up 🙌

I think it helped me some. Try legendary milk supplements if you haven’t already. I hear this stuff is amazing!

where did you get this information from? I’ve been trying to look it up and all I’m finding is that women get increase. My body isn’t typical so I usually get opposite effects with supplements and medications lol I’m kinda EP. Depending on how the day is going especially with my toddler will dictate what I do.

Mother milk tea make a big difference on my milk supply . I was taking it the wrong way so definitely give it a try. I love the taste

Here's some info from a Lactation Consultant on fenugreek

Have you seen a Lactation Consultant? What makes you think you're not producing enough?

Oh so are you feeding on demand or because of the toddler you don't have that ability? That really is the way to increase supply. Supplements are fine but it's mostly a placebo effect as you're either taking in more water or calories with the food ones.

I agree an LC is the best person to go to as they will be able to give you personalized care

I definitely do not have the ability to nurse on demand. I have been incorporating a few nursing sessions during the day while my husband ensures toddler is taken care of. The ped we see is also an LC. The weird part is that it took 2 days for colostrum to come in but I was getting on average 4oz per day of straight colostrum. Then it kept on increasing with the transitional milk and then once it got to regular milk I almost like plateaued. At the first visit with the LC she said 4oz was really good. At the second, I told her I’m seeing a very slow rise. We’re seeing her again on Wednesday 🤞🏻

If you want to breastfeed, you need to nurse on demand. That's what tells your body to make milk. There's absolutely no substitute for it.

Baby will feed 1-2 hourly plus cluster feed. If you don't nurse directly, you'd need to pump 2 hourly around the clock to get milk up, and pumping is much more time consuming than feeding directly.

Put hubby on toddler duty and get set up with baby.

And stop the fenugreek.

I had success with Boobie Bikkies but they can boost you but it's still not going to work if you're not stimulating your supply.
