Fenugreek seed tea works really well

Liquid IV & oatmeal have helped me. Be very careful with Fenugreek it can either help your supply or completely tank it 😩

The simple answer is the more milk that comes out the more milk the body makes.

I struggled with LOs 20% birth weight loss and had to express after every feed (to give him a top up) ended up with a huge oversupply.
If you can add a extra expression in the best time is unfortunately 3-5am as "that's when your body puts the milk order in" - quote from a NICU lactation specialist that gave a lesson on this.

How old is little one as they don't recommend expressing in the first 6 weeks (can create a oversupply like I had) xx
