Is there a lactation nurse on here? Does lemongrass tea increase breastmilk supply? And also what can I drink to increase my breastmilk production?

Fennel seeds and plenty of water worked for me. I've been nursing six months strong and I put it in my tea most mornings.

@anthonysmommie072816 Well remember you want baby to have the most recent milk. Having an oversupply causes more problema then it helps believe me. If and when you pump make sure baby always gets fresh milk. 🤷

Well keep doing it and dont worry. Your supply is fine. We all have an oversupply in the beginning. You dont need any more. As long as you maintain and continue to feed baby normally and pump for missed feedings you will do great.

@beemommyof3, yea see I started off with so much this time around but I guess my supply regulated itself which is cool but the first time I dried up and I don’t want that to happen so I just wanna keep my supply up but Everything u telling me I’m already doing

Every nursing experience isnt the same unfortunatley. Mine were all different. I have an oversupply this time around and before I didnt.

@beemommyof3, for me it does because I’m use to having an over supply of milk

Full breasts dont indication a huge supply. Mine stopped feeling full a while ago and i still can get a bunch of milk

You should be every 2 hours right now for 6 weeks. Why do you feel you need an increase

@mama_kat89, yea I do that already I just wanted to know ways to increase it I like the feeling of having full breast like I did with my first son.

Really dont need any specific food or lots of hydration. Just drink and eat to thirst. Increase calories to about 500 additional so you dont feel lightheaded or sick and nurse consistently.

@beemommyof3, I feed on demand for the most part I don’t pump

Like @beemommyof3 it really is about supply and demand. Keep baby on breast as much as you can. And drink lots of eater!

supply and demand increases supply. Supplements can cause a decrease and cause gi issues in the newborn as well as you. Are you nursing or pumping every 2 hours?
