BF Question

Hi ladies, I am hoping you can help me.

I read in a post last week that some of you ladies ate oatmeal to increase your milk supply. Did you eat it just once a day or more? I want to increase my milk supply, my little one finishes my milk in about 15 mins and wants more so I always have to supplement with formula.

TIA

Re: BF Question

I didn't eat oatmeal regularly, but I would think that you have to eat it regularly for a few days to see any results. An easier way to increase your milk is to take Fenugreek Tablets (3 X 3 Daily) or you can drink fennell tea, also if you are BF'ing your baby, I would maybe try to pump in between feeds to get your supply up! (someone else can correct me if I am wrong on that)

Also, your baby might be gettinge enough milk even though you think that she isn't. If she has lots of wet/poopy diapers, thats a good sign that she is getting enough!
