Possible to recover breast milk supply after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is poss. 2 restore breast milk supply. Remember the concept of supply & demand.... Pump, pump, pump! the more u demand, the more u should produce. Don't get discouraged. You should also speak 2 your doctor about prescription meds like Reglan (metoclopramide) that act as galactogogues. Herbal supplements such as more more plus & others that contain goat's rue, fenugreek or milk thistle can be very helpful also.
