Breastfeeding:increase milk supply?
2005-04-01
Name: Sanaya



When I weighed my baby after a month, he fell short by 300 gms. Doctor said weight gain should be 600 gms from birth weight. Since i was exclusively breastfeeding him, she said my milk supply must be less. My baby feeds every hour, so I assume she's right. Now I supplement with formula, and am taking some medicines to increase supply. But not much progress. Please can someone tell me of ways to increase milk supply. My baby still suckles 8-10 times a day even with supplementing with formula.

Hi,
I had the same problem of inadequate milk supply. I uesd to get just 6oz of milk during the whole day.
I started taking Fenugreek tablets(610 mg, 2 tablets 3 times a day), and Voila, I can see a change in a week. I don't need formula at all. Believe me, this works.
You get these tablets at your local GNC stores an cost about $8 for 100 tablets. It's worth it.

Hi Sanaya,

My mom was here(Iam in US)for my delivery so this is what she used to give me.
Garlic curry
5/6 garlic pods cut into small pieces,cook them with chopped onions and tomato.You can add little bit salt and hot chilli powder for taste.Don't overdue the chilli powder.You can eat this with rice or chapathi.I used to eat it everyday, Iam positive that garlic helps with the milk production.And also I used to eat atleast 3/4 slices of bread in milk.Try these...Good Luck

RE:Adult breast feeding
I was not breastfeed in my childhood hence the idea of sucking and feeding from a woman's full, engorged breasts has infatuated me. It is a fantasy that drives me wild like nothing else, just the thought of laying my head in a woman's lap while she brings her swollen nipples to my mouth. Ideally, I'd like to finally explore this with the right female. If you are in or near... - Sanjayhyd [View Message]
