what vitamins do you use for milk supply

Question

What vitamins, teas or remedies you use to help your milk supply?

My LO is only two weeks old and my supply was good. Due to latch problems the lactation specialist had me pumping a lot. Now that he is latching I feel like my supply is dropping because I'm not pumping as much.

Answer

I've herd mothers milk tea works.

Answer

These are what I use along with mothers milk tea and pumping and putting baby to breast as often as possible. Trick is consistency! I Haven't tried "The Honest Co" brand yet "Lactation Plus" ( last one to the right) but will be experimenting with it soon!

Answer

Just curious -- what makes you believe your supply has suffered? Does baby have enough wet and dirty diapers? Gaining weight? Relaxing or falling asleep at the breast? If yes then you're doing great and don't need to increase supply. Oversupply is not a good thing. It'll be a few months before your supply is fully established and perfected for your baby. Generally, the more baby needs, the more they will nurse, the more your supply will increase.

Answer

Hey girl. I use mothers milk special blend (has about 4-5 different things in it), they have the drops or the pills. I do both. Also, I do the banana lactation smoothie, I drink mine at night and I also pump once before I go to bed. I love it, and it tastes delicious. I add ice to make the smoothie, which isn't on there. Also, I substituted the PB for almond butter, for allergy reasons.

Answer

It's regulating to babies needs, make sure baby is emptying both breast. Or you're pumping the side baby isn't eating on. 2 weeks babies belly is so tiny still they don't need much. Babe should be eating about every 2 during the day and 4 at night. Count dirty diapers and as long as baby is gaining weight. Oatmeal will give you a boost but the only way to really increase your supply is to increase the demand. Either by baby or pump. Baby should start cluster feeding here soon so your supply will go back up then.
