increase milk supply?

Hi ladies just wondering is there anything you recommend to eat drink or do to help increase my milk flow. I wanna keep breastfeeding for as long as possible I'm just afraid I won't make enough.

Yeah you have to feed when the baby is hungry and or pump milk when you need to. the milk goes away when your not breastfeeding along with the baby or regularly. tags what my home nurse said.

its a supply and demand thing, so if you breastfeed babes for all feeds, then you will produce enough milk to sustain him / her for as long as you feed.   if you skip feeds to substitute with (formula) bottles regularly, that will slow down your production, so breastfeed on demand :) x

fenugreek! it's an all natural supplement you can buy anywhere that they sell extended vitamins, perfectly safe for nursing babies and it's helped moms for generations, and a lot of my friends told me about it, it's actually one of the ingredients in mothers milk tea.
