What helped me with my milk after I had my second son was that I started pumping as soon as the first feeding with my LO at the hospital, even if nothing was coming out. I did it after every feeding for 10 minutes and my colostrum came on day 2 and milk came in evening of day 2. And this is after having a c-section. My milk didn't come in with my first son (c-section as well) until about day 4 or 5. But I wasn't as good about pumping so I learned this time around. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-supplements-while-still-pregnant#post-249406 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:29:26 +0000 kiddosc 249406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait until after baby comes, like mrsbells said you might not even need it. As for safety, fenugreek is considered a uterine stimulant and isn't recommended during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-supplements-while-still-pregnant#post-249396 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:21:50 +0000 SAHM0811 249396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's advised not to take them during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-supplements-while-still-pregnant#post-249364 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:00:45 +0000 Mrsbells 249364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think its worth it because you dont know yet if you will need it, for all you know you might have an oversupply. My supply is more than my LO can consume, I had a big freezer stash without even working hard at it or pumping regularly, and I've never taken any milk supplements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-supplements-while-still-pregnant#post-249350 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:47:52 +0000 MamaMoose 249350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone start taking supplements to help with supply during the last few weeks of pregnancy? Would it even make a difference? Is it safe? </p>
