I'm currently pregnant and have an 8 month old that I'm still breastfeeding. I work full time so I pump at work. Usually I would get enough to feed my son plus more, however now i'm not even making enough to feed him while i'm gone. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO INCREASE MY SUPPLY?!? I need to make it to a year at least with him... I already eat oatmeal and drink gatorade every day and I drink water back to back. I even cut coffee out of my diet to see if it would help. I'm stressing out really bad about this. I really need help!!!
@ahredfox, i'm gonna try the tea again even if i don't like it. how long did it take to start working for you?
Oh man :( that sucks! Do you have Pinterest? They have a lot of ideas for boosters on there too.. I've only tried the tea so far
@ahredfox, what exact kind do you drink? I bought mothers milk but it tasted so bad to me and I love tea. I'd be willing to drink it all the time if I liked the flavor. I need something to work.
Have you tried mothers milk tea? I've started drinking it so that I can pump more because I'm going back to work.. It seems to work for me. You're supposed to drink multiple cups a day. And it's a subtle tea, so it's not bad tasting. I hope something works for you! Breastfeeding is the best.
Mexican chocolate! I swear by this and I've recommended it to a lot of other mommies on here
me gaylep2, I drink so much water that I use the bathroom almost every half an hour. And I have been doing that since my last pregnancy lol. but I'm going to try some oils because I love essential oils. thanks!
I had a couple of cups the other day and forgot I did so I was really engorged. It's been a while since I've gotten so full that I leaked that badly.
