Pumping Moms - supply amount

How did you increase your supply if you were exclusively pumping? I'm already going out to buy Fenugreek and have been eating oatmeal, I was wondering if there was any other tips/advice.

Re: Pumping Moms - supply amount

Co-sleep/skin-to-skin contact
LOTS of water
Dark Beer (haven't tried this one yet, but my MIL swears it works)

Fenugreek has been a huge help.

eta: Regular instant oatmeal isn't going to do a thing for you; you need to buy the steel-cut kind that cooks.

Interesting - I've been doing the skin-to-skin contact, but didn't realize it would actually help my supply amount!

Yes, I really have to drink more water, it's like back to being pregnant again...

Haha, good to know about the oatmeal - especially since I've been eating it a lot. Chat Icon

Thanks for the tips!
