I'm sorry, I don't have many more suggestions to offer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-144136 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:53:31 +0000 MegWag 144136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just curious.... How do you know you have low supply? I'm often curious about how much LO is actually getting, but he seems to be satisfied. (Though I think he's in a growth spurt because he nursed for nearly 2 hours tonight!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-144039 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:35:14 +0000 banana 144039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank tons of water and pumped like a mad woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143978 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:47:10 +0000 pelikila 143978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try replacing the fenugreek with a combination supplement like More Milk Plus by motherlove. It made a huge difference for me. Also, I agree with PPs about pumping after/between feedings, allowing your baby to comfort nurse, drinking lots of water (though not too extreme because then you are only flushing all those supplements out of your system before they have time to do any good), etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143959 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:39:21 +0000 SAHM0811 143959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Extra pumping sessions and/or pumping after feeding... Both are a pain, but they work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143944 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:31:23 +0000 chopsuey 143944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: They got a little sore, but it wasn't too bad. Just desperately wanted her to get enough to eat and to sleep well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143935 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:28:07 +0000 Rosie Girl 143935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Did your nipples get sore comfort nursing? I find that if she is on for a long time, they start to ache... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143922 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:21:53 +0000 chopsuey 143922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made sure to stay SUPER hydrated, ate a ton and let my LO comfort nurse so my body would think it needed to produce more milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply#post-143920 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:19:41 +0000 Rosie Girl 143920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply is low. I feel like I have tried everything, fennel, fenegreek, mother's milk tea, oatmeal everyday, vit c, and even prescription. Does any one else has a low supply? What have you done to get it to increase? </p>
