breastfeeding problem

[oneluckymama]

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant with baby #2. With my first child I had a very difficult time making enough milk for her and eventually gave up after 4 months. I was prescribed a medication that helped a bit, but as soon as the 7 days worth of pills were gone, so was my supply again. I have been looking into more natural supplements that help increase your milk supply so if it's a problem again I can try one and use it continuously if needed. Anyone used a supplement and had any luck?

Thank you ladies!  I will look into all of the above advice!

You spelled right and it can work wonders. Search galactagogues. They are foods and herbs that naturally help increase your milk production. Oatmeal is a great one and you can make lactation cookies with oatmeal and brewers yeast. You should come check out the medhelp breastfeeding forum :)

Heard many people have success with fenugreek...  Also Google "lactation cookies," good luck!

Fenugreek but I doubt that's how it is spelled. It worked for my sister who had the same problem... its OTC and in with the vitamins
