But I would add massive amounts of honey to the tea and that would help a lot with the flavor :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-production-go-up-after-you-stopped-taking-pain-meds#post-765838 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:50:48 +0000 autumnlove 765838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I eat oatmeal but I will try the tea....it smells so gross! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-production-go-up-after-you-stopped-taking-pain-meds#post-764710 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:39:08 +0000 sandy 764710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: i have no advice, but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and hoping your supply continues to increase!</p> <p>I had an unplanned c-section with my LO and had problems with my milk coming in (took about a week). I can't remember if my supply increased when I stopped taking the pain meds...</p> <p>Have you tried drinking Mother's Milk Tea ? I feel like my supply increased a lot when I started drinking it. My neighbor said she noticed an increase in her supply with oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-production-go-up-after-you-stopped-taking-pain-meds#post-763833 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:41:29 +0000 autumnlove 763833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always had issues with pain management with RX drugs...nothing seems to work. :-( I don't even know why I'm bothering with meds now because they don't relieve any post C-section pain for me. Some pills make me sleepy but I can't be knocked out with two kids!</p> <p>My milk production is ok right now and I get about 3-5 ounces at every pump session. I want to pump more ...I wonder if stopping the meds will increase my supply? My Dr says I should at least finish out the ibruprofen even if I don't feel relief...it will help with inflammation, etc. </p>
