The best thing you can do is feed on demand every chance you get and stay hydrated you can try super foods such as avocado,almonds, oatmeal (not instant) etc. idk if you had your baby yet but if your going off of the amount of colostrum your getting, don't. You body works off of supply and demand the more your baby demands the more your body will supply when your baby is born their tummy is tiny about the size of a marble (don't quote me on that but it's tiny) so even if you only have a little bit of colostrum that's all your baby needs ! As long as your baby is making enough pee and poop diapers then you are good . It's not recommended to pump the first six weeks because you can cause your body to have an over supply. Your baby can actually get more milk out than the pump can so a lot of times moms think they aren't making enough milk because of how much they pump when really that's not the amount of milk your actually producing ! The best thing to do is feed on demand and stay hydrated I never pumped and measured how much I fed my daughter I knew she was getting enough and till this day I haven't had an issue with my supply . I drink mothers milk tea on occasion but I try to just eat breastfeeding super foods and lactation smoothies . You can look on Pinterest they have lists of superfoods as well as easy recipes for lactation smoothies, shakes, cookies, and more! Feel free to message me if you need any help :)
Also , some women don't "leak" or produce colostrum during their pregnancy but that doesn't mean you won't be able to breastfeed your milk takes a few days to come in and you only need a little bit of colostrum for the first few days (sorry for the long message btw )

I heard beer could help cause of the yeast. or pill version. I only breastfed after she was born then pumped for 3 weeks then she went on formula

Go to whole foods and get motherlove drops. I've heard nothing but good things. It's expensive though
