Lactation cookies, mothers milk tea, fenugreek or blessed thistle supplements. Also drink a TON of water, it makes a noticeable difference!

My SIL said to drink 1beer everyday and the yeast would help produce more milk. I do if that's true or not though. But she's almost 2months postpartum and wasn't ever able to breastfeed until this time around her 4th baby.

Pumping isn't a good way to tell how much you produce. Because a pump isn't the same as a baby's mouth. That's what my doctor told me..

The more you feed/pump the more you will produce.
