There are many choices out there when it comes to increasing breast milk supply. And because of my neurotic personality I have used a few of them. One of my favorites is Fenugreek.
This worked for me the very day that I began using it. Once I began taking Fenugreek, I was able to pump about 1\3 more each session than previously. I took it in pill form that I got from my local GNC. They stock it along other breast milk supply enhancers. I bet GNC makes some good money off of us moms.
You take about 3 pills with a glass of water 3 times a day. And remember to drink plenty of water all throughout the day. A side effect is that when you sweat, you will smell like maple syrup. I did find that I would urinate, there was an odor of maple syrup, so I felt like I was probably taking enough.
Once your supply increases, you can stop taking the Fenugreek and your supply should stay the same. I found this to be true. So, you should not have to keep purchasing bottle after bottle. If you find that your breast milk supply has not gone up after about 3 days, then you may want to look for another alternative in breast milk supply boosters.
