My lactation consultant discouraged the use of ‘supplements’ saying that most of them were just a waste of money

I’ve read oats and lot and lots of water. I plan to get a lot of granola bars(easy to snack on while nursing) in hopes it will help my supply. I also plan on pumping while nursing(and after nursing om that side baby eats from) since I heard that helps as well.

Almonds make a huge difference for me!

Jst pump more that helped me anyway. My Son is a 6’4, 16 yr old healthy as a horse. That way u always have some handy if u need to go somewhere! :grinning:

I’m bf’ing baby #4 and the only thing that I’ve tried that makes a noticeable difference is eating oatmeal and drinking lots of water.

Oatmeal and leafy greens. Almonds and almond milk. Also blue Powerade. Good luck.

Gotta move milk to make milk. Put baby on more frequently.

Stay away from Fenugreek. However, breastfeeding is supply and demand. Are you exclusively pumping? Why do you think your supply is low? Supplements don’t increase supply.
