Boosting BF supply

posted 3rd Jan
I know Fenugreek is suppose to help with low supply, and i have some and plan to start taking them tomorrow. Are there any other ways to help increase supply?

Drink lots and lots of water. A good general rule of thumb is at least 16 oz every time your nurse.
Have oatmeal at least once per day.

I've been downing it to the point where my stomach is upset lol
Right now i'm pumping, but not getting much. I spent an hour and a half pumping and only got 2 ounces  
She's on formula as of today so she can put on some weight.

Wasn't your baby just born? Your doctor had you start formula already for weight issues?

Drink a dark beer, push water... you think you drank enough? Drink some more.

  You can also make lactation cookies, its basically regular cookies with brewers yeast. If you use formula it will not help your supply at all. Just keep putting baby to breast, and make sure you're eating enough nutritional food also.
