Hey guys,
I have problem with my 5 mth old kid.We live in US.I was breastfeeding and bottle feeding him but mostly breast feeding but in between i couldn't breast feed him for few days and now the milk supply has reduced so much that nowadays he gets frustrated when he goes near the breast.For more milk i am taking fenugreek and i am pumping but still i am not seeing any improvements so pls tell me whether my milk supply will increase or i have to give him only formula hereafterwards.
Becoz i am very interested in giving breast milk pls tell me how to improve it.
Advance thanks

hi susee,
i don't know for how long did you stop breast feeding your son, but if it was for 3-4 days, the flow will come back but if you stopped for a couple of weeks then i don't think you will get back the same amt again.
but lets try some tips.....try using the breast pump every few hrs like what you would be feeding your son. drink liquids, atleast a glass, before feeding. i used to consume orange juice. take a warm water shower. this really makes your boobs drip!! i used to run out to the pump after a shower.

i breast my baby only for 3 mths b'coz i didn't have a good flow and my baby remained hungry. but the 'breastfeeding support group' tht i talked to used to give me the above tips.
don't feel sad that you won't be able to breast feed your baby for long. feeding formula also gives the same feeling of bonding like breast feeding.
hope i was of some help. let me know
