Oatmeal. Talk to a lactation consultant at the hospital they will tell you what and where you can buy it!  :)

Set an alarm for every 2-3 hrs to help remind u so ur body will produce more!!! The pills do work! I had to use them with my second child when she was 3 months cuz I was having a hard time keeping up and certain foods do too! Good luck!

I try to pump as much as possible due to the fact I have another infant to tend to at home nd wen I try to pump he never let's me so I'm able to pump wen he takes a nap or is drinking his bottle..they tell me to pump every 2-3 hrs but it's hard to remember wen their not here demanding it themselves

the more you pump the more you will produce try pumping each breast 15-20 min and doing the other then taking a 10-15 min break and do it again, its a supply demand thing the more you pump the more you will produce.. but have the doctors said you aren't producing enough?? cause I was told they'd only need 5ml the first 72 hours and then 6 oz a day would suffice until 3 weeks

Pump, pump, pump. The more often you pump the more you will get. It is supply and demand with your milk. Good luck

Just keep trying. The more simulation the more lactation. Electric breast pumps work best.
