Fingers crossed. Up until now, I saw a tiny increase with: pregnancy tea (nettles, RRL, alfalfa, dandelion, and oat straw), and a tincture of fenugreek, goats rue, and some other herbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1400919 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:23:09 +0000 MrsCastro 1400919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried everything, pumping after he nurses to stimulate, mothers milk tea, oatmeal, increase water, etc etc and the only thing that I have notice make a real difference is fenugreek. I take 3 in the morning 2 in the middle of the day and then 3 more at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1400767 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:34:56 +0000 Bao 1400767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Lots of water, oatmeal, getting enough sleep and fenugreek worked for me. There is also a tea you could try. Also, pumping in between feeds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1400765 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:33:30 +0000 MrsH 1400765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399683 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:58:11 +0000 808love 1399683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oatmeal, water and rest.

I never established a full supply though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399557 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:42:38 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1399557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you have a lot on your plate right now but the WORST thing for milk supply is stress :-/ So the best thing you can do is eliminate as much stress as possible!</p> <p>Plus lots of water and real oatmeal (not instant). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399541 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:36:04 +0000 maybebaby 1399541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep! Water. More frequent nursing. Pumping after nursing (for ten minutes). Power pumps (pump 20/rest 10 for an hour). We went from heavily supplementing for a month to EBF until 6 months when we had to supplement again when I went to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399484 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:10:20 +0000 Kemma 1399484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of the above!</p> <p>Also - lots of skin to skin, unlimited access to the breast, night nursing, comfort sucking. You could also try a nursing "vacation". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399474 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:06:27 +0000 tinypiglet 1399474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lots of eating good fatty foods. oatmeal for breakfast every day. and lots of water. and relaxing when I pump. those are guaranteed to up my output! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-supply#post-1399468 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:04:49 +0000 Ash 1399468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water.
