A member asked:
Is there any safe medication for increasing breast milk production without doctor consultation? suffering from low milk production 3 weeks after delivery? feeding was unsuccessful in the initial weeks due to cracks and pain in the nipple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fenugreek is an OTC supplement that is often promoted to increase lactation. One natural way to stimulate milk is to feed more often but shorter times. 10 min/side empties 90% and increasing to evert 2 hrs can boost production. I would also contact a local La Leche league member that can provide in person support for the effort.
