Supplements: Question is why did you take those supplements? To increase your milk production? Herbal Supplements does not have much research done on them. After taking them, if you are not feeling right, stop taking it. If you have a newborn, continue breastfeeding, if the baby is not latching, pumping with a machine could be an option. Its demand versus supply, production will increase eventually.
