ok so I plan of breastfeeding my baby exclusively but I also go back to work when she's 4/5 weeks old (I dont want to but I have to) and need to start storing milk maybe when she's around 3 1/2-4 weeks old. Should I start buying stuff that increases milk supply(brewers yeast, fenugreek supplements etc) now or should I wait until after she gets here? Just want to set us up for success.

personally, I'd wait to see how your supply is.

I bought mothers milk tea before hand but I didn't use anything until she got here. And I already pump n freeze milk because there will be times your boobs are full she's already been fed so you just need to let it out

@ginag918, you're already pumping and freezing and your baby is only 2 weeks old wow that's awesome. Do you think the tea helped?

Yes I really think the tea helped because I really didn't produce much the first day she was born or even the whole hospital stay but soon as I came home I start drinking the tea and it's been flowing every since! Lotttts of water is key as well but in my opinion I think that tea works wonders. @helpedbytmh
