Breast milk: Stop eglonyl this is an anti psychotic medication and I am unaware of any sources that recommend this. No Jungle juice this has vodka and rum. Get a large drink container with straw of water with lemon. Drink a gallon of water daily. Continue to nurse baby every 2 hours. This will stimulate your mild supply
