A member asked:

I am a nursing mom with a prem baby, 3months old and struggling to produce breast milk. im currently on eglonyl, similac mom, ginger tea, jungle juice and plenty of water but still struggling. any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fenugreek tea: has been shown in some studies to enhance milk production. Taken in tablets it has not. Dromperidone is a prescription medication that has had some success used short term. The best approach, however, is to work with a qualified lactation consultant and follow his or her advice. Over time you will succeed
