Breast milk supply: Many women have difficulty with there breast milk supply particularly if they are separated from their infant by either illness or work. Breast feeding preferably or pumping if unable as frequently as possible can help. Working with a lactation consultant can also be helpful. Fenugreek is an herb which can help and does not require prescription. Reglan (metoclopramide) and domperidone are also used.
