A member asked:
How can i maximize the amount of breastmilk i can pump when i go back to work (part time)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pump/nurse more: Pumping and nursing will increase the amount of breast milk. Also take plenty of fluids and don't diet. Fenugreek is a supplement which may help increase breast milk. In some cases a doctor may prescribe Reglan (metoclopramide) for a few weeks to help moms produce more breast milk. Meet with a lactation consultant and/or talk to your ob/gyn or pediatrician.
