@Eva I drink so much that it’s silly, baby has a hard time properly latching and won’t stay on the boob for a very long time, and his first teeth started coming through a few days ago so boob is off the table now. I do massage while pumping and it does tend to get a bit more milk out, although this isn’t a huge amount. Starting to think that maybe I need to try the domperidone route
You can try Mother Love More Milk plus. My lactation nurse recommended it. I think it worked somewhat.
@Eva I’m in the UK, just had a quick Google and it’s not widely available here, I can buy it imported, but it’d cost over £27 (around $35ish).
Oh no. I wonder if it's called differently there. I'll send you the ingredients, and you can create or find a different version. Fenugreek seed Blessed thistle herb Nettle leaf Fennel seed
The thing that helped me massively is oats! I can tell the difference when I don’t have any for a couple of days!
I also had a hard time pumping, so I don't have too much advice. But I know that when my baby nursed, my milk flowed easily. I did not respond to a pump the same way. Maybe allow your baby to have access and pump right after or on the other side at the same time while nursing. When pumping, smell your baby's clothes. Also, learn hand expressing. Stay hydrated and fed. Coconut water, water with lemon... Healthy fats and calories. I hope something will work for you. 💛
