Question:
"OK so I worry a lot so hopefully someone knowledgeable will be able to reassure me.
My almost 6 month DD had her tongue tie snipped very recently (so so late!), and I know that tongue tie can cause poor feeding and so low milk supply - and I'm worried that this has happened to us and I wont be able to feed long term - and I really want to do extended breastfeeding for as long as she wants.
Basically she never seems satisfied after a feed - haven't seen that milk drunk look in a very long time, she never feeds for long - 1 or 2 minutes on each side... and has recently dropped to middle/;lower 9th centile from high 50th at birth. She's quite a fussy baby as well.... and not interested much in food yet (planning on BLW)
So... are we doomed to fail in extended feeding? Is she getting enough? Can I boost supply at this late stage if I need to?"
Answer:
Low milk supply can be increased at anytime. The important thing is to breastfeed and/or pump often, without skipping. Unless you are doing one or the other on a regular basis, your milk supply will suffer.
For low milk supply, herbs need to be used as soon as possible. They offer a safe and natural way to increase breast milk production. A great product to try is Breastea from http://www.breastea.com
In order for herbs to increase milk supply, you must use them on a regular basis. Try drinking a glass of Breastea when you sit down to breastfeed or pump.
Also baby might be ready to be started on cereal.
