If you own a double electric breast pump, set yourself up in the evening (or when baby is not needing to nurse for at least an hour) and pick a good tv show or movie. Pump during the show and stop during the commercials. This is supposed to simulate a baby cluster feeding thus signaling to your body that you need to produce more milk to satisfy them. Worth a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-after-mastitis#post-253221 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:51:47 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 253221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me too. I just nursed very very often for a few days, (short often nursing sessions like in the beginning) and drank lots of water and within a week or so my supply had mostly recovered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-after-mastitis#post-253205 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:35:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 253205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did the same as mungbean. i pumped, nursed, took mmp, fenugreek, and mother's milk tea. it took a couple of weeks but i got my supply to a good place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-after-mastitis#post-253199 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:31:15 +0000 pinkcupcake 253199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply also took a huge hit after mastitis. I took more milk plus, blessed thistle, and fenugreek, and pumped or nursed every two hrs. It was a couple wks of hard work but I managed to increase my supply to the point I produced more than enough for LO. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-after-mastitis#post-253124 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:39:11 +0000 deannab1 253124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Tuesday I came down with a mild case of mastitis. I caught it fairly early and got on antibiotics right away. But now I'm having problems with low supply. I've always had an abundance of milk, but now my LO doesn't seem satisfied. I'm feeding constantly, pumping after, and taking fenugreek. Is there anything else I can do? LO is 4 months and I would be devastated if I could not longer breast feed. </p>
