Marianna-I needed to increase my milk supply in January with great success following Christine’s advice (thanks again Christine!!)and others (there is a post with lots of ideas that were given to me if you do a search for my posts) and using blessed thistle and fenugreek. I also met with a lactation consultant because Chloe’s latch is not very deep which apparently is very common because they are fighting what is coming up and what is going in! Because of this Chloe did not empty the breast effectively messing up the whole supply and demand cycle. So I pumped after feedings and did breast compression during feedings as well as improved latch which was not easy with a 6 month old with a mind of her own
. I have also found good information at the website http://www.kellymom.com She talks about all of the herbs etc., to increase milk supply and talks about other strategies.
Good Luck you CAN do it!
