Is it too late to increase my supply if I'm 2 months pp? I feel like I don't have enough because I…

you can always increase your supply. take supplements for a week or more. get into the routine of pumping maybe 2 a day for 2 weeks your supply will increase

Thank you! @madelynnb

Try eating oatmeal and Gatorade/ drinking extra water. It's helped me and I'm almost 3 months pp.

@danamarie, thank you I will try that!!!(:

No problem! They also say beer can help production but I don't think there are any scientific studies to back it up. Can't hurt though!

@danamarie, I heard it's the wheat in the beer that helps! How much would I have to drink anyways? I don't want to have to pump and dump because I drank some alcohol :/

I normally have one or two before I go to bed so I know it's out of my system by morning/when she feeds. Honestly I've heard people say pump every two hours but that's soo time consuming I didn't find it worth it. I only pump once after her morning feed and can normally get a combined total of 5 oz about 2-3 from each side and can store. Any more than that I feel I can't produce enough for her during the day. You just have to figure out what works best for you. The lactation consultant told me its best to do it in the morning since your supply decreases at night. I've used her advice and it's worked pretty well so far. But I feel your pain! I wish I could pump and store more every day.

try lactation cookies, eat oatmeal, or take Fenugreek (3500mg a day) U could try beer..they have non alcoholic beer!😉 No need to pump and dump w that! or u could have a regular beer or 2, but make sure to wait at least 2-3 hours before your next feed. pumping and dumping really won't do much, you'll still have alcohol in your system. unless your pumpig dumping because you've become engorged.

FYI: heres a lil info about Pumping and dumping from Leche League "As alcohol leaves the bloodstream, it leaves the breastmilk. Since alcohol is not "trapped" in breastmilk (it returns to the bloodstream as mother's blood alcohol level declines), pumping and dumping will not remove it. Pumping and dumping, drinking a lot of water, resting, or drinking coffee will not speed up the rate of the elimination of alcohol from your body."

@shinystar1 it's actually the Brewers yeast in the beer that helps supply...so just skip the beer and buy the Brewers yeast!
