Low Milk Supply.... When you need to increase it.

When breastfeeding, have you ever noticed that you just aren't making enough breastmilk for baby? Or do you just need to increase milk supply just every now and then?

I'm horrified to hear that so many doctors are telling breastfeeding mothers that they need to stop breastfeeding and switch to formula, when they bring low milk supply concerns up to them. Why don't they just advice them to try herbs?

Certain herbs really do work at increasing breastmilk supply. Who would think something so simple would really work so good? The use of herbs to increase breastmilk supply is something that has been passed down from generation to generation of breastfeeding moms. Many, many moms (that have low milk supply) are able to produce enough breastmilk by using herbs. Thus, there is no need to quit breastfeeding because of low milk supply.

When you are experiencing low milk supply and need to increase production, the first thing you need to check is how often you are breastfeeding or pumping. Without feeding or pumping enough, you are not going to have a good, solid milk supply. It's preferable that you simply just breastfeed whenever baby wants. You can do one or the other, although for the best possible milk supply, you would want to breastfeed on demand. Some moms have to strictly pump for various reasons. If you are pumping simply due to latching on problems, make sure to talk to your local lactation consultant with help getting baby back on the breast.

So no matter whether you are breastfeeding or pumping or both, you have to make sure you are doing it often. If pumping, make sure to pump for fifteen minutes at a time, every 2 to 3 hours. Overnight, you can pump every 4 hours. And remember it takes time to increase your milk supply. Results won't happen overnight.

If you find that you need to increase milk production, drinking just one cup a day of herbal tea is not going to do it. You are going to want to drink 4 to 5 cups daily. Some moms need more. It takes a good amount of herbs on a regular basis to work. So you are not going to want to use tea bags that make just one cup of tea. Unless you can afford to buy several boxes of the product.

Breastea is a really great tea to increase low milk supply. Each tea bag makes one gallon of tea. For $14 you get enough Breastea to last at least 10 days. It's very affordable.
