When did you start taking these? Just wondering if I should wait till I go back to work and pumping through out the day. Right now I seem to produce enough for Reagan. But when I do pump I am only getting 2oz, maybe 3. I usually just pump one side, since I need the other to feed her. I want to build a freezer stash.
Also which ones do you take? I did a quick search on amazon for the more milk plus and there are a bunch of different ones.

I started too late (10 1/2 weeks, went back to work at 7 weeks and wasn't pumping enough), but after 9 days my supply increased by 8 oz, and still climbing. For #2, I will start taking them probably a week before I go back to work. These are the brands I take:

I take the More Milk Plus liquid (Alcohol Free) and the Mother's Milk Tea. I've seen a big increase since starting them... but I didn't start until after I went back to work. Since Reagan is still pretty young that pumping output sounds pretty good to me, I wouldn't mess with supplements until you see an obvious need for it.

Since I had supply issues when pumping with DD, I started taking MMPSB about two weeks before I returned to work with DS.

i took mother's milk tea when i went back to work. I started more milk plus and fenugreek when my supply started to tank. I should have started earlier.

So looks like I shouldn't worry about it till right before I head back to work. Maybe I will try and just find more time to pump so I can try and build a stash.

I was on fenugreek from a few days postpartum waiting for my milk to come in. Once I returned to work, I dropped fenugreek in favor of MMP and Mother's Milk tea.
