Re: Increasing Supply after BC Pill decreases it

[Guest guest]

Michele,

She can make double strength Mother's Milk Tea (MMT)using two tea bags. She

should drink two cups a day. Also she might want to take Blessed Thistle

with the Fenugreek as they work well together. Pumping after the baby eats

can help the body think it is nursing two. It is good she quit taking the

pill, many women have this same problem with the pill. It has ended some

breastfeeding relationships. Let her know that her body can do it. She

might also consider a nurse-in.

Increasing Supply after BC Pill decreases it

Another question for another friend from me :-)

I have a friend on my March 2000 mommies list who went on the mini pill a

couple of weeks ago and has noticed a drop in her milk supply. Baby is

tugging at the breast and seems frustrated. This is my friend who tried

really hard to get her baby bfing, going from all bottles of EBM with one

nursing session a day to exclusive bfing. She has decided to stop taking

the pill for a few months (when baby starts solid food) because she doesn't

want to mess up her milk supply but now she needs help getting it back up.

I told her about Fenugreek (3 capsules 3 times a day) and Mother's Milk Tea

but I don't know how much she should drink. Is there anything else she

could be doing? Will pumping help at this point? She is giving the baby a

bottle or two a day right now because of the drop in supply and little

tte is hungry.

Thanks

Michele

Thanks Wendi! I passed the info on to her. I know Fenugreek is easy enough to find, would MMT and Blessed Thistle be easy to find as well? And how much Blessed Thistle?

I would recommend the Nurse-In that Wendi mentioned since the baby is also

at about the right time for the 3 month growth spurt too.

Michele,

The blessed thistle should be available at a health food store. Take at least one capsule three times per day with the fenugreek.

Thanks ! She hasn't stared any herbal stuff yet but her supply is coming back on it's own! Her dd was satisfied all day yesterday. She's going to buy some herbal stuff anyway.

Thanks for the help!
