reglan for milk supply?

Question

I'm taking fenugreek 3x a day, ovaltine 2x a day, and oatmeal every morning and still only pumping 1-2 oz a session. We are nursing every couple of hours but I really want to also build a stash. My baby is almost 6 weeks and I'm thinking I might need to give reglan a chance. My lactation consultant said that depression is a side effect. Just wondering if anyone has tried reglan to increase milk supply and if it worked for you? Did you experience side effects? Thanks!

Answer

Question, is a stash necessary? If baby is gaining weight and wetting enough diapers you have enough milk. Pumping output doesn't mean that you have low supply.

Answer

Goats Rue is an option too. Not sure how it compares in effectiveness to medication and what you've already tried.

Answer

I didn't do it to increase milk supply per say.  I was on it due to being pregnant and morning sickness was bad. I was still breastfeeding my first son who was 8 months old. I did notice a supply increase.

Answer

I don't know if this will help, but when I pump I am drinking water literally the entire time, if I pump both sides at once I put a long straw in the jug of water. I mean I am probably putting away about a half gallon at a time! I also massage my breasts before and during to help the flow along, usually generates enough for a full feeding. When I don't do those things I get very little milk, not even half what I need for a feeding.
