I believe LLL recommends nursing 8-12 times in 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583488 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:05:53 +0000 pachamama 2583488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing on both sides on demand helped my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583408 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 07:40:46 +0000 meadow 2583408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: my LC recommended this supplement and I noticed an uptick in supply<br /> ...<br /> <a href="http://www.golacta.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.golacta.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583405 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 07:24:33 +0000 FannyMae 2583405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>its winter here, so lots of chicken soup, greek style :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583402 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 07:12:48 +0000 Alba4 2583402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.s.

This made a huge difference for me. Also, I tried to get at least 40-60 ounces of water along with one 28-32 ounce Gatorade every day and it worked for me with both kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583267 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 16:50:13 +0000 daniellemybelle 2583267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never gained a full supply but what helped the most was oatmeal, almonds (in butter or milk form), CALORIES, and rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583246 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 16:06:22 +0000 Kemma 2583246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night nursing will help with supply, how old is your baby? @Alba4: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583225 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 15:16:37 +0000 kiddosc 2583225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Power pumping, I would see a noticeable difference after just a few days. Otherwise, TONS of water, enough calories, and getting a good night's sleep. Basically taking care of myself, which isn't always easy to fit in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583169 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 13:25:15 +0000 Autumnmama79 2583169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oatmeal cookies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583156 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 13:05:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2583156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fenugreek and blessed thistle.

I also drank mother's milk tea and tried to drink as much water as possible. I'm not sure exactly what helped, but my supply was (and still is at 10 months) great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boosting-your-milk-supply#post-2583085 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 11:18:37 +0000 tinyperson 2583085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing on demand, avoiding the soother as long as possible, fenugreek and blessed thistle.
