Some women find this helpful. Do it twice a day. A lot of women say it’s best in the morning. Drink more water than u think u need and get electrolytes. I’m sure u have heard of fenugreek pills. U can try that.

If the fenugreek is not working. Stop taking it. It is known to do the exact opposite in some woman and decrease their supply!! I noticed a dip in mine drinking the tea.

What I have been doing. I have been EBF for almost 7 months. He does primarily nurse directly though. Drink TONS of water. I still take a prenatal vitamin every day. Lots of protein, don't skip meals, not the time to obsess over losing the baby weight. I on occasion drink nursing tea. Non restrictive bra and tops and no sleeping on your stomach. When I do pump, I look at pictures and videos of my baby.

Try moringa supplement. I have been taking two pills three times a day for a month and have noticed a difference.

As others suggested, power pumping and letting baby nurse for as long and as often as possible!! Oatmeal and body armor drinks upped my supply as well!! I also heard recording your letdown and watching the video back can help trigger your milk!

Let baby nurse as long and as often as possible! Try Power pumping. Be sure that your flanges are the best fit possible. And remember to change the membranes/sealing parts. Play with the settings maximum suction is absolutely not necessarily max output!
