| as suggested by my lactation consultant, i drink lot of fish soup with papaya, take the fenugreek seed capsules daily (for 1 months now), and sometimes have some mother's milk tea if i want something to go with my cookies in the afternoon. my supply really goes up, i used to express 2-3 oz, now 6-7 oz and sometimes 9 oz. and my daughter used to only nurse for 5- 10 min, now she can nurse for 20-25 mins, i guess these reli works. but both my lactation consultant and i feel that we should continue with all these. and i 'm happy with that,
but dont forget to nurse frequently even you are taking these supplements, so now, for every feed, i nurse my daughter on one breast while expressing the other, then i give her the expressed top up milk (she doesnt have the patient to empty even one breast)
one last thing, mothers milk tea is sometiems out of stock, i'd usually get a feew boxes when i see them. and the fenugreek seed capsules, they are reli reli difficult to get. and its quite expensive, anyways, i think it works for me  |
