Increase Milk Supply?

Hey ladies, my lil man is 3wkS. I'm so afraid I'm not going to have enough milk. I'm pumping every 2hrs and drinking plenty of water. Does anyone have any suggestions to increase my milk? Ftm

@rosario: that's due to the brewers yeast. Said to increase milk supply.
@Golden: google lactation cookies.

Lol what my mom used to do was drink a beer and in a couple of hours she'd have more milk. I never quite understood how that was supposed to help

Fennel or basil essential oil around the breast, not on the nipple.

Your body knows how much to produce based on what your baby demands.  Nursing on demand is the easiest way to keep up. Just before a growth spurt  your baby will likely nurse ALL the time. ..don't worry baby is just telling your body "get ready!" Then your body will produce more and more and baby will eat more at once and sleep longer. Are you nursing and pumping? Or just pumping?
