Extra help with lactation?

Question

I had my first baby 2 months ago, & my milk production was great the first few weeks until now it seems to have decreased drastically! I try pumping to every 2-3 hours & I stay hydrated as much as I can. I've been told from different people about different products I can drink to help produce more! Any mamas have any recommendations that was useful for themselves? I also heard drinking straight Fenugreek is a good source...anyone familiar with fenugreek?
T.I.A!

Answer

Hello! I've tried Mrs Patels chocolate fenugreek bars! They're delicious and boost up supply. I also read their tea works as well. I have her on Instagram idk if you have one, but you can def look her up.

Answer

You can buy fenugreek pills, and take a bunch of them a day. They aren't a medicine, they are an herb and can be taken frequently in pill form. It doesn't have any nasty side effects or anything. Stay away from Sage, Parsley, and Peppermint. All three decrease milk supply. Oatmeal, fennel seeds, and brewers yeast are all big helps on milk production. Buy some lacataion teas. Fresh tea you should only need one cup a day but dried/store bought you will need several cups a day to increase milk supply. The dried/store bought stuff isn't as strong.

Answer

Mothers milk tea and brewers yeast work wonders for me. Fenugreek works but upsets my stomach. I usually make lactation cookies with the brewers yeast tastes much better that way!

Answer

Breastfeed every three hours and pump after each feed for five minutes after your milk stops coming. When you are just pumping I find that I can pump more and have a stronger let down if I am near my girls. I hate hearing them cry, but their cry definitely helps with letdown and supply during pumping sessions.
