Ways to Increase Milk Supply Posted: 06-19-07 12:40pm
I have a 3 month old daughter and I only
breastfed her until she was a month old. I
really miss breastfeeding and I would like
to increase my milk supply again. One of
my friends had told me to just pump every
2-3 hours and see if that would work. are
there other ways to increase your milk
supply?

there's a supplement called fenugreek
that's supposed to increase your milk
supply. i don't know how effective it is
once you've let your milk dry up though.
i'll pm you some websites you should check
out.

I was the same way. I breastfeed for 2
weeks and once she got to about 3 months I
wanted to breastfeed her again. Good luck
getting your milk back.

I was breastfeeding at first also, and my
milk started to dwindle, the Dr. put me on
Domperidone and I have been taking it for
3 months now, and my milk is as strong and
the day I started.

there is a pill available at your doctor's
office that will begin your milk supply.
even mothers that adopt children are now
able to breast feed them as their own.

Yes, that is correct...I think it is the
domperidone that I take....
My neighbour adopted a little girl from
Europe last year and she took the pills
before they got her, and she WAS able to
successfully breastfeed.
