increase breast milk supply fenugreek

t the right forum but I feel more comfortable asking questions here...I had my daughter on the 9th and at first I had a really good milk supply where my breast would become engorged every two hours if I didn't pump or feed regularly....and I was pumping 2/3 ounces from each breast every time.....now I can hardly get an half an ounce :(....I try to have my daughter on my breast every two hours but it seems like she gets so irritated because nothing is coming out....

For women breastfeeding, fenugreek seeds are used to help increase milk supply. Taking Fenugreek at the required amounts helps to increase breast milk, the only real side effect may be that their skin has a maple syrup smell. Fenugreek has been found to increase a women’s milk supply within 24-72 hours of taking the supplement. Once obtaining the results wanted, most women can decrease the amount of Fenugreek needed and stop all together.

/ I want to be able to store breast milk for just incase stuff and to be able to breast feed until he is at least teething idk if I could breast feed when he has teeth bc right now he is randomly pulling away on my nipple and when he does that he pulls ny nipple also lol

All I know is the more they feed off you the more milk your body makes. Its their suckling that stimulates the milk supply. I found pumping milk very hard esp in first few weeks.

I used it with my second and it does help increase your milk supply, but remember to keep hydrated. Andbit does make pee smell like pancakes.

As much as it ***** to say it, sometimes you just can't make your supply increase. Not saying don't try just understand sometimes you can try everything and it not work. Pump right after you feed. And feed often. It's a supply and demand type system so more demand should build supply. Works most the time.

Is it okay for me to take Fenugreek to increase breastmilk supply? It says on the label that it's "not intended for breastfeeding women", but I've read about so many people using it to increase their milk production. Are there any known side effects?

The first 2 weeks are the hardest. Remember u need like 400+ extra calories to breastfeed so eat healthy, nutritious foods and don't give up. .

So you may want to try pumping for a few minutes several times in one hour a few times one day. I have been taking fenugreek and blessed thistle, which has helped increase my supply. Some also swear by Mother"s milk tea. It is also helpful to massage your breasts while pumping. ************ is a wonderful and helpful website that I highly recommend so is the website for Dr. Jack Newman. Good luck! Goodluck.

Also like nikk14 above said fenugreek. There is mother's milk that helps your supply. I took those and blessed Thistle at one point. Make sure you're drinking at least 60oz of water a day also!

Baby needs to be physically latched on to your breast and drinking in order for you to produce milk. I also agree with Lanny_Licorice fenugreek capsules work to increase milk supply and in South America (where I'm from) my grandma and aunts always said eating and/or drinking oatmeal everyday or several times a day wether it be cooked or in a drink also increases milk supply.

When I first came home from the hospital I pump and store my breast milk in these sterile storage bags made for breast milk. I will eat oatmeal and take fenugreek tablets to help keep producing milk. You want to keep the baby on the breast as much as possible even if she/he is using you as a pacifier, I noticed skin to skin contact with my little one has helped. My milk supply did decrease while I went back to work.

Also pumping after feeding baby should help increase supply as well. The more baby feeds the more milk you should get. If theres still issues you can get tablets from doctor to help increase supply as well. Best of luck.

Go to local health food store and buy mamas milk tea. It helps increase your milk supply!

Plus @the time ihad a 2yr old toddler girl & my son so , it was deff hard. So , ijust gave up & switch up to just formula.
