milk thistle lactation

you can make it go back up by consistantly pumping ur milk is made on supply and demand so if u pump and nurse consistantly it will raise back up dont get discouraged it takes a bit to get it goin good again but it works.

Oops sorry *blessed thistle, not milk thistle.. Milk on the brain lol! There are also breastfeeding support tablets that are made with both of those ingredients, one brand is "herbs of gold" you should be able to get them from your local health food store.

I would suggest calling a lactation consultant to ask about fenugreek and blessed thistle. If you google motherlove more milk capsules, they have great reviews on increasing supply. When I was relactating, I used fenugreek, blessed thistle, and domperidone. Your ob can prescribe the domperidone. There's also a tea called mothers milk tea you can get at gnc or vitamin shoppe and it also helps increase supply, it just tastes awful.

Ya beer works. Obviously no more than 1.

Increase your fluid intake..

have you tried lactation cookies? there are some recipes online, they seem pretty simple to make but the ingredient in it that helps boost your milk supply is yeast, and you can also find that in non-alcoholic beer.

If your supply has dropped you can try mothers milk tea, motherlove more milk pills, fenugreek, blessed thistle. Are you pumping at least eight times a day? Breast milk is a supply and demand thing too. So pump or nurse more and try one of the above.

But I really would look into getting with a lactation consultant and asking for help with it especially when you draw closer to that mark that you did with your first. Google lactation cookies also as there are tons of recipes you can make that will help with milk production.

Pump EACH time your baby feeds (and in between if you can) They say 15 mins each side, but in my case it would sometimes take a total of 45 minutes. Fennugreek, blessed thistle, mothers milk tea...these are all good for boosting milk supply and are safe. I have never been able to successfully breastfeed and have solely pumped and bottle fed two of my babies... one for 3 months the other for 6 months.

Why are you considering taking milk thistle? Do you have liver disease? Milk thistle hasn’t really shown much in the way of clinical evidence of being effective for treating liver injury.

Hello Destiny - If you are concerned that you may not be producing enough breast milk, a lactation specialist or pediatrician can help you know whether or not you are. Most likely the problem should be a fairly simple fix. If your low milk supply cannot be increased by changing how often you breastfeed or how you breastfeed then they may suggest a herbal supplement or prescription drug to help.

I forgot to tell you after you go to mayo clinic review of milk thistle you go to the site that says Milk Thistle and under that it has Mayo Clinic and it does give a web address www.mayoclinic.com/health/silymarin/NS-patient-milkthistle/ I tried it and can't get there so it is easier to just do it like I said.
