- Join the MOBI
list (Mothers Overcoming Breastfeeding Issues)
- My advice:
- Fenugreek (3 capsules 3x a
day)
- Blessed Thistle (1 capsule
3x a day)
- Add essential fatty acids
to your diet, in the form of flax seed oil or other supplements. I used
Udo's Choice Capsules
- Eat oatmeal
- Avoid mint & sage
- Kelly's AP on Herbs
that increase supply
(the best site I found so far; the rest of the info on the site is useful
too)
- Domperidone
for when everything else fails
(I ordered it from PharmacyCare in New Zealand. It helped a lot, but wasn't
the panacea I'd hoped for)
- Hospital-grade pump. (pump,
pump, pump!)
I used thepump in Style, but should probably have bucked the cost and
used the lactina.
- Avent Brand bottles (easier
to clean, and I had fewer problems switching back and forth from bottle
to breast with them)
- Self
Expressions
A good source for pumping/nursing supplies
- Bravado
Bras
Simply the best! Comfortable & supportive without being restrictive (this
from someone who prefers underwires!) I can't say enough about them!
- Books:
