Milk Supply

Started taking Fenugreek Seed yesterday because I'm not so happy with my milk. When I'm with Isaiah all day, I never seem to make any extra to pump. And when I'm away, I don't even pump enough to replace what he used with the babysitter. My huge supply is almost depleted after this past week's activities.

2 capsules with every meal. It seems to be helping already. I tried this other one that comes in liquid form from Motherlove. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. I'm going to take the Whole Foods associate's advice & just try the Fenugreek for awhile. I love Whole Foods. Wish I could afford it.

keep in mind the baby can pull more milk out of your boobs than the breast pump can. its normal to not be able to pump as much especially as he is getting older. and i'm sure he is just drinking more when you are at home with him simply because he can. babies always drink more milk if its coming from mommy's warm chest than a bottle. dont stress and make sure you are getting enough water.
