How can I increase my milk supply?

Question

My son is almost 3 months old, and has been sick for 3 weeks now with bad congestion as one of the symptoms. He hasn't wanted to nurse due to not being able to breath so I've been exclusively pumping for him. I get between 25-30oz a day. Does anyone have tips on how to increase my supply just a little more? Thanks!

Answer

That’s a really good amount! Pump more often for longer if you want to increase your supply. Drink lots of water and be sure you’re eating enough calories. Hope baby feels better soon!

Answer

Fenugreek can have the opposite effect for some women and it can give you and baby gas... i second the oats. I put flaxseed and wheat germ in mine. With butter and brown sugar. I also take brewer's yeast pills with meals and I know everyone is going to juump on me because the body armor drinks have lots of sugar but i pumped extra this morning and I had one before bed...

Answer

Oats! I have quick oats with cinnamon, almonds, dried cranberries, threw in some dried cranberries with almond milk and do this every morning...delicious and helps with supply!
Otherwise look into mothers milk (tea).I also wait about 10min after I pump and even more comes out!
