How can i produce more breastmilk without letting my son latch on?
Hello Destiny -
If you are concerned that you may not be producing enough breast milk, a lactation specialist or pediatrician can help you know whether or not you are. Most likely the problem should be a fairly simple fix. If your low milk supply cannot be increased by changing how often you breastfeed or how you breastfeed then they may suggest a herbal supplement or prescription drug to help.
There are a few different herbal remedies you can use to help increase your production of breast milk. One popular supplement that has been approved as a safe supplement is Fenugreek. Fenugreek is used both as an herb and as a spice. Fenugreek is frequently found in curry. For women breastfeeding, fenugreek seeds are used to help increase milk supply. Taking Fenugreek at the required amounts helps to increase breast milk, the only real side effect may be that their skin has a maple syrup smell. Fenugreek has been found to increase a women’s milk supply within 24-72 hours of taking the supplement. Once obtaining the results wanted, most women can decrease the amount of Fenugreek needed and stop all together.
Some other popular herbs or food to help increase breast milk are Asparagus, Ipomea, blessed thistle, nettle, anise, dill, fennel, goat’s rue, raspberry, and alfalfa. There are a few other herbs but these are the most popular.
Lastly, there are certain foods and drugs can cause a reduction in breast milk or make your baby not like the taste of your breast milk. It is best to avoid certain spices in large quantities. Spices such as Garlic, Sage, Parsley, Peppermint, and Thyme can cause problems. Drugs to avoid are Decongestants, Alcohol, Hormonal birth control pills, and tobacco should not be taken unless absolutely necessary.
No matter what your choice, you should always speak with your doctor first. He (or she) may have another option for you!
Take care and best of luck!
