Hormones: Are coming back to normal after your pregnancy. Increase your water intake and continue to take your prenatal vitamins as long as you breastfeed. You can try some fenugrique or metoclopromide on the days you think you may have decreased production, although the fenugrique may cause some easy bruising on your body.
