It has been 2 weeks and I’m still not producing enough milk to satisfy my baby’s hunger. I am supplementing with formula. Each session takes a long time as I’m nursing and supplementing. On top of that have to pump too. Do I still have potential to increase my milk supply?

My daughter’s pediatrician recommended fenugreek to me to up my supply. It’s a pill you take 3 times a day. I got it at Whole Foods.

I was in the same boat and my milk came in a little stronger around 3 weeks. You're definitely not too late for things to change.
Unfortunately I only produced enough for about 2 ozs a feed and have had to start supplementing again around 5 weeks. I'm exclusively pumping now so that I can make sure he's getting enough between breast milk and formula. I'm currently pumping tons through the day and trying to power pump as well as drinking mothers milk tea, eating lots of oatmeal cookies, and just starting Legendairy Milk Liquid Gold supplements to see if I can get my supply back up.

Maybe your baby is just cluster feeding. Not to say your body isn’t producing enough. Have you tried more frequent feedings? The more you feed the more your body will know what your baby needs . Also every pump session and or feeding won’t be the same one Breast I can pump 5 oz the other only 2 . Or sometime I can get a lot from both. If I’m breastfeeding and I feel like he is still showing he wants more just offer the other to see how he / she does . Maybe check with a lactation consultant as well . Personally I don’t think any of those milk products even work. If you are eating enough and taking care of your body it is designed to supply for you and your baby’s needs . It’s still early so the supply can definitely increase ♥️
