Milk supply?

Question

This isn't my first child but with my first I got really sick after I came back from the hospital and couldn't eat anything to produce enough milk for my baby so I had to give her formula she is now 2 btw. But I want to breastfeed with this one I'm hoping I don't get sick after this one but I want to know is there anything I can drink/take that will help me produce enough milk?

Answer

There are all kinds of teas (mothers milk is a popular one) and cookies that are supposed to help. I ate a lactation cookie once and it was just ick, but there are recipes on Pinterest  for how to make your own.
Handy tip: keep healthy snacks prepared and ready to grab, like unsalted nuts, bananas, protein bars, etc. It can really wear you out!

Answer

Oatmeal is probably the easiest way to boost your supply. You can also try fenugreek, certain teas and lactation cookies. But I've found it easiest to just eat some oatmeal in the morning than deal with those things.

Answer

Water, water, and more water....you can asp take a vitamin c 125mg daily to help. Eating granola and raw oatmeal will help also. I personally like oatmeal chocolate chip lactation cookies, Google them. They are delicious and are not very hard or expensive to make. One batch makes about 4 dozen, and everyone in your family can eat them because they help with digestion issues and regularity. With the recipe you can add up to 4 tbsp of brewer's yeast, main ingredient to help with milk supply, if you feel your supply isn't enough for baby. Also, staying as stress free and we'll rested as possible really do make a difference r with milk supply. Nurse often and pumping between feedings helps increase supply also. Make sure you have a lactation consultant You trust in speed dial. 
Good luck momma! I have been blessed this time around to ebf for almost 17 weeks and still going strong!
