I have breastfed my other two but my milk supply was always very low despite everything I tried. So my question is, what are some do's and don't's while trying to breastfed. What will help.me get plenty of milk? Any particular food I should eat more of or less of???? Please help! I wanna breast feed as long as possible and I just couldn't with my first two!

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.

Drink plenty of water and take fenugreek and milk thistle!

Where do you find the mothers tea?

At first i really didnt do much i normally produce alot of milk i mean alot i would feed my son and could still pump a full bottle and my breasts were hard and huge so i stopped for 3days and my milk reduced im know exclusively breastfeeding him. I drink plenty of water which makes you produce milk and there is a mothers tea too and it helps.
