Avatar f tn Advice for breastfeeding is to make sure after every single feeding you pump each breast for 20-30 minutes. There is also Mothers Milk Tea and Fenugreek vitamins which will help increase milk supply . make sure you have your baby latch on as much as possible to help your body know it needs to keep producing milk.

Avatar f tn Hi Amanda fenugreek Is an herb that you can take to increase your milk production. Also the more times you put the baby to your breast to nurse the more milk you will create.

Some mothers are even sensitive to the hormones in the mini-pill.

Avatar f tn I heard drinking one beer will increase your milk production
Avatar f tn The more the baby nurses the more milk you will produce. If your supplementing her after you you nurse you should pump both sides for 10-15 minutes after - even if you are not getting any milk when you pump. The stimulation of pumping will eventually increase your milk supply. If you don't then you will maintain the same milk supply that you have. Or just let her nurse for 15-20 mins each side, even if you think she isn't getting enough that too will increase the milk supply.
1665009 tn?1303175598 You might want to ask your doctor about that if you are still interested, i dont really have any more information about stopping breast production, my friend stopped nursing her son around 7 months ago and she STILL produces come milk!!!

Avatar m tn There are a few different herbal remedies you can use to help increase your production of breast milk. One popular supplement that has been approved as a safe supplement is Fenugreek. Fenugreek is used both as an herb and as a spice. Fenugreek is frequently found in curry. For women breastfeeding, fenugreek seeds are used to help increase milk supply.
Avatar f tn When first starting out it is important to put baby to breast there are hormones that help with milk production and let down and baby helps with that. A pump does not give the mothering instinct like baby. It is also important to relax and not be stressed because that will hinder let down and production.

4545793 tn?1394592544 If he only nurses one side at a time pump the other side when he's done. Other things you can do to increase milk production are staying very well hydrated, eat oatmeal and garlic, drink mothers milk tea (heard it doesn't taste the best). Also Google lactation cookies. I've never made them but I've heard they work and taste pretty good.
Avatar n tn In women who are not pregnant, the blood level of this hormone is usually low. An abnormal increase in prolactin in non-pregnant women can cause abnormal milk production, which may manifest as "nipple discharge". Prolactin doesn't usually have any relation to the occurrence of breast cancer. I think your doctor is just being thorough in investigating all the possible causes of that discharge.
Avatar f tn There are supplements and vitamins available to boost breast milk production. If you Google breast milk increase vitamins ull see there is options that may help.
8924846 tn?1410572901 Is there any tips anyone has on what I can do while pregnant that may help with breast milk production? Or things that may cause someone not to produce?
Avatar n tn The first time I tried so hard to breast feed but my milk would not come in enough so both me and my daughter got frustrated so I would just pump and hope enough would come out for a feeding but only 1/2 oz. per time would come so I would give her what milk I had and then feed her formula till she had enough this went on for 2 1/2 months and still the most milk I could pump was 1 oz. at a time . Can anyone tell me if there is a way to help your milk come in better ?
7055678 tn?1394847153 It can potentially help you to relax and therefore aid in the let-down of your milk, but it will not cause an increase in the amount of milk you produce. Non-alcoholic beer containing barley and hops can produce the same effect without the dangerous side effects of alcohol.
Avatar f tn There is a product called milky produced my Tia and Tamera mowery. It is supposed to increase milk production using all natural ingredients you can buy it online. Good luck mama!!!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Anyone else having the problem of having too much for baby to swallow? I am currently trying to breast feed and pump when she is done eating, still can't keep up with all the milk I have. Any suggestions? My boobs are getting HARD to manage/touch.
