ok lactating mommies, Help! I have a 5 week old and produced great until about 2 weeks ago. I have power pumped and I drink lots of water, I nurse when she wants to eat, but my supply just doesn't seem to be coming in. I am really frustrated, I don't want to give it up, but I don't know what else to do.

fennugreek and blessed milk thistle. I would also recommend seeing a lactation nurse

fenugreek works you have to take a lot. about 4-600mg capsules 3 times a day. takes about 24-48hours to kick in. when your milk,pee,sweat and baby start to smell maple syrup you have the right dose. lol
I am able to feed baby fine but has a hard time pumping more than 2.5ounces so I take fenugeek every few weeks for a few days

Why do you think your supply is dropping? If your baby is wetting diapers, your supply is fine.

I was feeding and still pumping about 7oz for the first few weeks....now she just doesn't seem to ever be satisfied.

She could be going through a growth spurt. They eat more then.

I agree, it's probably her 6 week growth spurt. Just put her one when she wants it and your body will adjust. Just make sure you're also not pumping the milk she needs to increase supply/storage. Nature will do its part but if she going through a spurt and you're feeding and pumping then your body isn't recognizing what she needs.

@sev1226 I stopped pumping, I only let her nurse now. I forget about the growth spurts. ..I am a new mom and it shows lol

@mckennasmommie, no worries! I am too. My little guy is 14 weeks so I'm only slightly ahead of you :)
